You can establish a link between CPS and Backup Exec so that you can view alerts and job logs for CPS jobs in the Backup Exec Administration Console. The connection between CPS and Backup Exec is established by using the SmartLink Wizard in CPS. SmartLink technology integrates Backup Exec with other Symantec products, such as CPS.
The SmartLink Wizard generates a pre-command in Backup Exec, which is a command that runs before a Backup Exec backup job runs. Using the pre-command, Backup Exec can verify whether the CPS job completed successfully the last time it ran. This allows Backup Exec administrators to check the status of CPS jobs before a backup job is run in Backup Exec to protect CPS data.
