Hi,
NBU 7.5.0.6, RHEL6.
we've recently started to recieve nightly emails with the subject "netbackup catalog change successful." We get a LOT of them. Every morning we get one for each of the last week or two's worth of catalog backups; at a glance it is identical to the "netbackup catalog backup successful" report we get after each catalog backup.
Jan 5 at 5:41, netbackup sent me 18 individual emails. Jan 6 5:41, 10 more. Jan 7 5:41, 5. Jan 8, 10. jan 9, 8. etc. This is not a mail system problem; postfix logs show netbackup is sending them each morning.
I haven't analyzed specifically which days we are sent which logs,
My catalog backup policy specifies that 3 copies are made of each full catalog backup: 2 to tape, and 1 to disk. 2 copies made of each incremental, 1 tape and 1 disk. Presumably importantly, the disk images expire after 2 weeks (tapes 3 months/1 year).
I see discussion of the "new feature" here: http://www.symantec.com/connect/forums/netbackup-catalog-backup-change-successful-started-showing
Unfortunately there's no solution listed there.
Help, i'm drowning in spam. Worse, my boss is complaining.
thanks!
