E-mail Notification Messages

Objective

You wish to be informed by e-mail the moment a warning or a message regarding an error that occurred during a backup job is generated.

Requirements

• In order to send e-mail messages from the backup server, you must configure the mail server (Configuring the Mail Server).

• The backup job must be assigned to a schedule (Creating schedule (example)).

Proceed as follows:

Select messages

1. In the menu bar, click Configuration.

⇨ The Configuration dialog showing the Dashboard tab is opened. Select the messages (Messages) you wish to display on the dashboard, and also select whether they are to trigger notification by e-mail to a specific e-mail address.

2. To display a message on the dashboard, select Show ✔ and then select the time period for which the message is to be displayed.

3. To opt for notification by e-mail, select E-Mail notification ✔, for example for Error messages:

1. Save the settings by clicking [Save].

⇨ The type of messages displayed on the dashboard, the time for which they are displayed and the settings for notifications by e-mail are now defined.

If you have opted for notification by e-mail, you must now enter a valid e-mail address to which these notifications are to be sent.

Entering e-mail address

The e-mail address is user-specific.

1. Go to System > User Management.

2. If you have not already set up a user account, enter a user name and a password and activate the new user settings.

3. Click [Edit] in Groups to assign the user to a group:

4. In the Additional section, click the Email input field and enter the e-mail address to which the messages and reports are to be sent.

5. Save the settings by clicking [OK].

Result

If one of the configured message types occurs during a backup job, you will be notified with a message to the entered e-mail address.
