Email notifications

You can configure the global settings for email notifications that are sent from the management server when an event occurs.

These settings do not affect the email delivery of scheduled reports. See Reports.

In default backup options, you can override these settings exclusively for the events that occur during backup. In this case, the global settings will be effective for operations other than backup.

When creating a protection plan, you can choose which settings will be used: the global settings or the settings specified in the default backup options. You can also override them with custom values that will be specific for the plan only.

When the global email notification settings are changed, all protection plans that use the global settings are affected.

Before configuring these settings, ensure that the Email server settings are configured.
