You can use perfmon stats to alert when a backup job fails or aborts etc. The only problem with this is that in order to reset the counters the Backup Exec services need to be restarted.

Currently we can only display whatever is received. Probably in the next major release (and that is NOT the upcoming 4.1) we will have the possibility to send out alerts based on received traps (with some basic rules on the traps). Dirk.

From:[EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Randy Fuller Sent: Tuesday, December 23, 2003 2:06 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [SA-list] Monitoring Veritas Backup Exec Jobs Has anyone on the list used SA to monitor Veritas Backup Exec? Specifically, monitoring to alert when a job Fails, or when Operation intervention is needed (to insert another tape for example). I know that Backup Exec will use SNMP, but so far, I can't figure out how to use SNMP. So if anyone can point me in the right direction, I would be thankful.
