Enabling Email Reporting

You can set up Veeam Backup & Replication to send reports automatically by email. To do this, you must enable and configure global email notification settings in Veeam Backup & Replication. To learn more, see the Configuring Global Email Notification Settings section in the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide.

In addition, you can enable and configure custom notification settings for a specific protection group, Veeam Agent backup job or backup policy. This may be useful if you want to change subject, notification rules or list of recipients for some reports.
