When creating a backup policy, NetVault lets you configure user-defined events that can be raised when one or more policy jobs complete with warnings or fail.

You can use these options when you want to be notified about the completion status of a policy.


	NOTE: NetVault includes several predefined events, which are raised for significant occurrences within the system. For more information, see About NetVault events and Events types. You can also raise user-defined events for individual backup jobs, restore jobs, report jobs, policies, and log messages. You can use various notification methods to receive notifications when the predefined or user‑defined events occur in NetVault. For more information, see Using global notification methods.

To raise a user-defined event for the policy, configure the following settings. Once you create a user‑defined event, you can raise it for any policy. NetVault adds these events to the event class Policy — User defined.

Table 56. User-defined events for backup policy
Option	Description
Raise event if policy has warnings	Type or select the event that you want to raise when one or more policy jobs complete with warnings.
Raise event if policy has errors	Type or select the event that you want to raise when one or more policy jobs fail.

To receive a notification when an event occurs, set up a notification method for the event. For more information, see the Setting up a global notification method.

Click Save Policy to save the policy definition.
