It should be mentioned that Bacula's notification mechanism can actually be
customized. For example, I set mine up to broadcast tape operator messages
via 'net send' (that old windows messaging stuff) so that everybody in the
office gets the message (they have a simple procedure on how to change the
tapes which usually one of them executes when the message arrives).
As long as you can invoke whatever mechanism you want from the Bacula
server (usually a Linux box) you can have it IM you, SMS you, page you ....
