Monitor Backupexec configuration
The script monitors changes and problems with a BackupExec configuration by reading its database. The script consists of five different test that each checks important configuration parameters. The script can be downloaded from our forum.
BESmtpEnabled
Ensure that SMTP notifications are enabled on the BE server.
BECheckEmail
Ensures that every valid backup Job(Active, and scheduled in the future) has the specified email address configured for notifications. As Emails can be set in multiple locations the test is able to determine emails set on the job, policy, or selection list.
BEGlobalAlerts
Similar to BECheckEmail but checks that an appropriate email is set on select alert categories(‘Job Cancellation’,'Job Failed’,'Tape Alert Error’,'Media Insert’,'Job Warning’.) Alarms if one of these does not have the specified address configured to receive notifications.
BEJobsOnHold
This tests checks that backup jobs do not remain on hold for longer than the hold-time. As jobs eventually may have to be held the test uses the hold time to allow a grace period to limit false-alarms.
BEJobTimeoutSet
Ensures that all valid backup jobs (active, and scheduled in the future) have a timeout set.
