Email notifications

The option enables you to set up email notifications about events that occur during backup.

This option is available only in on-premises deployments. In cloud deployments, the settings are configured per account when an account is created.

The preset is: Use the system settings.

You can either use the system settings or override them with custom values that will be specific for this plan only. The system settings are configured as described in "Email notifications".

When the system settings are changed, all protection plans that use the system settings are affected.

Before enabling this option, ensure that the Email server settings are configured.

  1. Select Customize the settings for this protection plan.
  2. In the Recipients' email addresses field, type the destination email address. You can enter several addresses separated by semicolons.

  3. [Optional] In Subject, change the email notification subject.

    You can use the following variables:

    • [Alert] - alert summary.

    • [Plan] - the name of the plan that generated the alert.
    • [ManagementServer] - the host name of the machine where the management server is installed.
    • [Unit] - the name of the unit to which the machine belongs.

    The default subject is [Alert] Device: [Device] Plan: [Plan]

  4. Select the check boxes for the events that you want to receive notifications about. You can select from the list of all alerts that occur during backup, grouped by severity.
