We currently have a procedure for that in place. We have a script that scans the event log and parses each line that has a missed, failed or pending message to a file. Using the file, we send an e-mail to each user informing them their backup missed, failed or was pending at the time we scanned the event log. We use e-mail addresses in the contact field, and use that to send an e-mail to whichever node has missed, failed or is pending a successful backup. If the backup/archive was successful, we don't send them anything. We're running on AIX 4.3.2, but I'm sure this could be easily ported to OS390. I can provide further information if you like.
