Report Send
Methods
Reports can be sent using various methods:
• Email send method
• Broadcast message send method
•SNMP send method
• External send method
• Log to file send method
The following sections describe specifics of each method.
Email Send Method
The email send method allows you to send or receive an email with the
output of the report.
IMPORTANT When sending an HTML report on a Windows Cell Manager using the
e-mail send method, how the report is displayed will depend on the email
client used to open it. Many email clients will display the report as plain
ASCII text. To ensure the report displays correctly as HTML, open it in a
Web browser.
To send e-mail reports from a Windows system with Microsoft Exchange,
create a Data Protector Exchange profile called OmniBack on this system
(usually the Data Protector Cell Manager).
