Specifying Global Notification Settings Using Console

In Veeam Backup & Replication console, you can configure Veeam Backup & Replication to automatically notify you about the following events:

• Low disk space
• Support contract expiration

Low Disk Space Notification

When you run a job, Veeam Backup & Replication checks disk space in the target backup repository and production storage. If the disk space is less than a specific value, Veeam Backup & Replication will display a warning message in the job session details.

To specify the disk space threshold, do the following in the Veeam Backup & Replication console:

1. From the main menu, select Options.
2. Click the Notifications tab.
3. In the Backup storage and Production datastores sections, select the Warn me when free disk space is below <N> % options and specify a desired disk space threshold.
4. In the Production datastores section, select the Skip VMs when free disk is below <N> % option and specify a desired disk space threshold. When the threshold is reached, Veeam Backup & Replication will terminate backup and replication jobs working with production datastores or volumes before snapshots and checkpoints are taken. Such behavior helps ensure that production datastores and volumes do not run out of space.

Veeam Backup & Replication also terminates jobs if the amount of free space on the datastore or volume is less than 2 GB. You can change this threshold limit in the configuration file . For more information, see this Veeam KB article.

Support Contract Expiration Notification

By default, Veeam Backup & Replication informs email recipients specified in global notification settings about the support expiration date in every email notification. Veeam Backup & Replication starts sending such notifications 14 days before the expiration date. Expiration information is also shown on the splash screen and on the License Information window (to display the License Information window, select Help > License from the main menu).

To stop receiving notifications about support contract expiration, do the following in the Veeam Backup & Replication console:

1. From the main menu, select Options.
2. Click the Notifications tab.
3. Clear the Enable notifications about support contract expiration check box.
