Set Up Notifications for a Server or Host

Configure notification services to send an email to designated recipients when snapshot creation is completed, or failed, or both. Anti-spam filters may require adjustment to ensure notification emails are not blocked by the email server.

1. In the Server Connections area of the navigation pane, connect to the server to configure.
2. In the Configuration area of the navigation pane, click Configure Server.
3. Click the Notifications tab.
4. Set up notifications:
   • SMTP Server: Enter the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server host name or IP address.
   • From: Enter the email address to use as the sender.
   • To: Enter one or more email addresses that will be sent notifications. Separate addresses using commas (,).
   • Subject: Enter subject text to use for notifications. If a subject is specified, the node that generated the notification is included in the body of the email only, preceded by Creation Host: If no subject is specified, the subject text is automatically generated based on the backup set name, and includes the node name of the server that generated the notification.
   • Notify on success: If selected, sends an email notification for each successful snapshot.
   • Notify on verification failure (Available only for Exchange Stores extensions): If selected, sends an email notification for each Exchange verification failure.
   • Notify on failure: If selected, sends an email notification for each failed snapshot.
5. To send an email to test the notification settings, click Send a Test Email.
   NOTE:If the test email is not successful, make sure the SMTP server has the correct relay permissions. This is especially important when sending email to an external email address.
