Scripted broadcast alert

[jgus]

I am using Arcserve 11.5 on Windows 2003 servers. I have a nightly backup job that runs and then after it completes I have a sciprt kick off that automatically restores part of this backup to another server from tape. I have the following batch file command that automatically creates a restore job from the last backup job session just completed. This script works great but I would like to also add a broadcast alert to this script for failed and successfull alerts. I currently have the alert manager defaults set up with my broadcast destinations. Is there a way to add the broadcast alerts to this script?

If not is there a way to setup an .ASX file with cabatch.exe so that it will just restore the last session g:\riiroot backup from whatever tape is in the drive?


"C:\Program Files\CA\BrightStor ARCserve Backup\ca_restore" -source 192.168.1.1 G:\riiroot -dest \\SERVER2 nt e:\riiroot -filter include dir rafacs -filter include dir rafacsii -filter include dir sysinfo -filter exclude file *.ddf -username domainx\xxxx -password xxxx -firsttapetimeout 2 -preserveuserspaceoff -preservedirspaceoff -onconflict overwriteold -runjobnow -description "01 Restore to SERVER2"

Thanks for your time.

What is the goal here?

If it is to copy the data to this other location, then why not setup a Copy job.

If it to verify the backup, then why not just setup the job to do a verify Compare Tape To Disk for that session.

I has to be a restore from tape due to a timing window. The server must be backed up while no users are using the files. There is not time to do a backup to tape and then also a copy to the other server during the night before users need the files in the morning. We don't want a file copy to be going on while users are using the files so a restore from tape is the best bet.
