Backup > Backup Alert

Backup alerts notify you when the system detects a problem with backup. As with all other alerts within the system, the content of the alert and the recipient can be set per alert.  At the time the alert is generated, a script can also be run.

To set the alert for a particular machine or selected machines, check the alert, customize the alert message if necessary, identify a script to run if necessary and click apply.

Alerts can be cancelled and parameters reset at any time.

Backup Complete

Alerts when a backup process completes successfully.

NOTE: You may specify different alert email addresses for each backup alert type. This lets you send backup complete alerts to the user and only send failures to the administrator.

Backup fails

Alerts when a backup process stops prior to completion for any reason. Typically, backup fails because the machine is turned off mid-backup or because the network connection to the file server referenced by Image Location is lost.

Recurring backup skipped - machine offline

This alert gets issued when Skip if machine offline is set in Schedule Volumes and the backup is rescheduled because the machine is offline. Use this alert to notify you that backups are not even starting because the machine is turned off at the schedule volume backup time.
