Author Backup 9.1 and 10 not sending notifications
Nicola

2005-11-01, 8:00 am

Hi,

I have 7 servers inhouse running Windows 2000 and 2003 Server with
Backup Exec 10 v5520 installed.

I also have 7 client servers running Windows SBS 2003 and a mixture of
Backup Exec 9.1 and 10.

Notifications have been running fine when for some bizarre reason all
the emails that I would expect to receive didn't come through this
morning.

I have looked at all 14 Servers and in the job details the ticks had
been taken out of the notification part of the job.

I have turned these back on and tested it and it now notifies me fine.

Is this some freaky Halloween trick or a setting somewhere that turns
this off after a period of time?

Can someone help me?

Thanks
Nicola

Could it be related to the time change that occurred due to daylight
savings?

Thanks
Nick

This happened to me also on our 9.1 and 10.0 servers - Thought i was going
mad!!!

It didnt happen on the two 8.5 servers we have and they are still sending
notifications fine.

Daylight saving time began the week before so i doubt it was that.

Very strange - anyone know why this happened?

I have been speaking to Veritas about this and they have said that it
is because of Daylight Savings and they haven't got a fix....Great..!!!

Yup - that sounds like verishite to me!

Can only get worse now that Symantec have their paws on it.

Daylight savings currently only happens twice a year. As a work around you
can avoid running jobs during that time until a fix is available. If you
still run jobs, you may see some intermitent minor problems like time is off
by 1 hour, or notifications don't get sent, but your data will still be
protected. I don't see that as a earth shattering, especially since Daylight
savings may go away anyways.

In the "Notifications" setup, try putting your email address in the "From
Address (Optional)" field.
