Setting up notification for alerts

You can configure Backup Exec to notify recipients when alerts occur.

The following notification methods are available:

  • SMTP email or phone text messaging

  • MAPI email

  • VIM email

  • Pager

You can use printer and Net Send notification methods, but they do not require configuration before creating and assigning recipients. You can use one or more methods for each recipient.
