Configuring E-mail Settings

You can configure email settings to receive email notifications. Veeam Backup for RHV sends the following notifications:

• Backup jobs results.

• Veeam Backup for RHV new versions.

• Configuration database backups results.

To configure notification settings, do the following:

2. Open the E-mail settings tab and select the Enable e-mail notifications check box.

3. In the SMTP server field, enter a full DNS name or IP address of the SMTP server that will be used for sending email notifications.
4. Click the Advanced button to specify advanced SMTP settings.

1. Specify the port number for the SMTP server.
2. To use a secure connection for email operations, select the Connect using SSL check box.

5. In the From field, specify an email address from which email notifications must be sent.

7. In the To field, specify the recipient addresses. Use a semicolon to separate multiple addresses. Recipients specified in this field will receive notification about every job managed by the backup server.

8. In the Subject field, specify a subject for the sent message. You can use the following variables:

1. %JobName% — name of the job.
2. %JobResult% — status with which the job has finished.
