Email notifications

You can configure the global settings that are common for all email notifications sent from the management server.

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 backup 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.

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

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