I have Neworker Management Console 7.4.
On properties for that particular Notication:

Action:

smtpmail -h mymailhost -s"Backup Success" Administrators

The problem is that I am getting only 4 notices instead of 8 (servers for inc backup each day). What could be problem?
Each server on Monitoring Group works as expected, which means that backup of all servers is done successfully. It was OK until two months ago.

How notification is associated with each server I do not know?
 
The first question is: Which notification do you mean at all? - Let me guess: savegroup notification.

This means that this is only triggered when you run an automatic backup (when you start the group). Do you mean that the notification is not triggered by some groups at all?
 
Event: write completion, not savegroup.Priority: notice.

I do not see that 4 of them are inside same group.
 
Hello,

the event 'write completion' becomes true when a write operation is complete, not when a client has finished its own backup.

How are scheduled your saves :
one group = one client, one group = n clients... ?

 
Although documented (not very precisely), you do not know exactly when a notification will be triggered. Consequently, it is not really recommended to create new ones - only modify existing ones.

Most likely the client's "owner notification" will be the better choice.

Where to set up that owner notification?

"the event 'write completion' becomes true when a write operation is complete, not when a client has finished its own backup."
What in fact means write completion?

"How are scheduled your saves :
one group = one client, one group = n clients... ?"

Inc each day group is 8 clients to be backuped each day incrementally.


 
Sorry, i thought the word "client's" clarifies it - it is the parameter "owner notification" in the "client" resource.
 
Where do you set it up in networker management console?
