I have a standard pre & post backup execution script which runs from the backup software and sets the backup status in a file on the client server. In addition, an external script which runs periodically throughout the day to check that status. The trick is making sure you either execute the external script often enough to keep purple conditions ( default 30 minutes without a update) from occurring or set the expiration on the status long enough to stay until the next backup runs.

Hi All,

Please advise if there is some sort of plugin/script that will send a message from the client when my backup application sends me an successful/unsuccessfule email after my backups and update the Xymon page. Im currently using Attix 5 as my backup application.

Is this possible ?

Thanks
