Notifaction via SMS

[andyspeedie]

Has anybody setup notifcation using SMS (Short Message Service) so Backup Exec will send your mobile a text message reminding you to change the tape. Simialar to the Pager, but not quite.

I'm running 7.3

Hi,

Did you get this working by any chance? I'm going to be running backups on important live data, and would like to setup the same operation....

Thanks

You will need to check with your mobile provider if they have an email-to-sms gateway (most do). Then you set BE to send a notification email to the gateway, that will forward it to you as an SMS.
I have this working with backup failure notification - no problems.
