I'vce only put what you type, if it comes back with something like &quot;authentication required&quot; you obviously won't get a chance to type all of the above. You may not see what you type since it won't echo back and you can't use backspace if you mis-spell.

I would have told you how to do that after you tried manually with telnet but you never got back to me on what response you got from a manual test!

I have Backup Exec 9.1. &nbsp;I cannot get it to send a notification to a SMTP address. &nbsp;I have tried using the server name and server IP address in the mail server field, and have entered 25 in the port field. &nbsp;When I send a test, it says &quot;a test notification has been queued for delivery&quot;, but nothing is ever received. &nbsp;I am stumped.<br />

Backup Exec Notification

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.
