Need Email Notification Script
I need a VB script to email to the administrators once a day the last 24 hours
successful backups in one email, and the unsuccessful backups in another
email. I have one that does that already, but I also need those emails to
list the files that were successfully/unsuccessfully backed up so as to contain
more detail than a simple status number. Any help would be appreciated.

I assume you have very small backups to even conceive of this.
Ignoring the VBScript part (that's Windowsey fluff you can wrap around the
data and if you need VBS help in general, there are better places to ask),
you probably want to write a batch file to collect your data. Read "Viewing
NetBackup Reports" in your SAG Volume I to see the things that are available,
the look at tne NetBackup Commands manual to for commands like bpdbjobs and
bperror that generate everything you see in the Reports GUI, process the
data as needed and mail it.
You can do all this in batch files using DOS commands, but it will be much
easier to install a Unix-like shell environment like MKS Toolkit or cygwin.
Better yet, teach the admins how to use the reports. You probably have
better uses for your time than writing non-trivial scripts for them.
