NetBackup Properties

Allow Non-reserved Ports
Specifies that NetBackup can use ports 1025 through 5000. This is useful for
backing up clients that are on the other side of a firewall (the firewall must also
permit the use of ports 1025 through 5000).
In addition to changing the client setting to Allow non-reserved ports, you
must specify that the server use nonreserved ports for this client:
1. Select the master server in the Configuration - NetBackup window.
2. In the Master Server Properties dialog box:
a. Select the Client Attributes tab.
b. Select this client in the list box and then select Connect on nonreserved
port.
Also, see “Client Attributes Tab” on page 485.
Global Attributes Tab
The Global Attributes properties tab defines attributes that affect all operations
for all classes and clients. The default values are adequate for most
installations but you can change them if necessary. The following topics
explain the settings on this tab.
E-mail Address for NetBackup Administrator
Specifies the address where NetBackup sends notifications of scheduled
backups, administrator-directed manual backups, or NetBackup catalog
backups. The notification of catalog backups includes the media ID that was
used. Specify the address of the NetBackup administrator. The default is no
address.
On a Windows NT NetBackup server, it might be necessary to configure the
install_path
\NetBackup\bin\nbmail.cmd
script in addition to specifying the
above address. This is necessary because, on Windows NT, NetBackup
performs the notification by passing the specified E-mail address, subject and
message to the script. The script then uses the mailing program that you
specified in the script to send E-mail to the user. See the comments in the script
for configuration instructions. By default, the
nbmail.cmd
script does not
send E-mail.
