Notification Settings

You can specify email notification settings for the backup policy. If you enable notification settings, Veeam Backup & Replication will send a daily email report with backup policy statistics to a specified email address. The report contains cumulative statistics for backup policy sessions performed for the last 24-hour period on computers to which the backup policy is applied.

To specify notification settings for the backup policy:

1. Click Advanced at one of the following steps of the wizard:

• Storage — if you have selected to save backup files in a Veeam backup repository or cloud repository.

• Local Storage — if you have selected to save backup files on a local storage of a Veeam Agent computer.
• Shared Folder — if you have selected to save backup files in a network shared folder.

2. Click the Notifications tab.
3. Select the Send daily e-mail report to the following recipients check box and specify a recipient’s email address in the field below. You can enter several addresses separated by a semicolon.
4. In the Send daily summary at field, specify the time when Veeam Backup & Replication must send the email notification for the backup policy. Veeam Backup & Replication will sent the report daily at the specified time.
5. You can choose to use global notification settings or specify custom notification settings.

• To receive a typical notification for the backup policy, select Use global notification settings. In this case, Veeam Backup & Replication will apply to the backup policy global email notification settings specified for the backup server. Veeam Backup & Replication will send the email report containing backup policy statistics at 8:00 AM daily.
• To configure a custom notification for the backup policy, select Use custom notification settings specified below. You can specify the following notification settings:

• In the Subject field, specify a notification subject. You can use the following variables in the subject: %Time% (completion time), %JobName%, %JobResult%, %ObjectCount% (number of machines in the backup policy) and %Issues% (number of machines in the backup policy that have been processed with the Warning or Failed status).
• Select the Notify on success, Notify on warning and Notify on error check boxes to receive email notification if the policy completes successfully, completes with a warning or fails.

5. In the Backup monitoring section, select the Warn me if no backups were created in the last <N> days check box and specify a number of days. In this case, Veeam Backup & Replication will display a warning message in a backup policy session statistics in case successful backups are not created for a specified number of days.
