Arcserve 2000 Job Alerts

[quenault]

Hi.
We're running Arcserve 2000 to back up our servers, and I have struggled to set up SMTP alerts. I've recently been informed that you cannot configure SMTP alerts for Lotus Notes 5!
Do you know if there is another way of sending alerts via e-mail, or just alerting us if a backup job has been unsuccessful?

Kind Regards
Chris

This is from another reply I posted regarding SMTP alerts. You can get them to work with Lotus Notes as long as you indicate your internal Notes server as the SMTP server and use the patch below.

There is a patch for CA's eTrust Antivirus that addresses an SMTP issue when using ALERT within CA products. You do not need to be running eTrust Antivirus to use this patch; it worked for me when I wasn't able to use SMTP alerts with Arcserve 2000. It adds an "SMTP Settings" option at the bottom of the context menu when you right click on SMTP within Alert Manager.

You can download it here:

It works! I have used it and it is a MUCH simpler solution than using Lotus Notes, Exchange, or whatever to send email alerts. Good Luck!
