Email Alert Configuration

You can set the SMTP server and configure an E-Mail address to which backup reports can be mailed periodically. Options to configure sending various reports to different email addresses are available.

  • Go to the Settings tab and select the Email option from your backup client. By default, Email Configuration will be disabled. Enable the Email Notifications option.

Configure SMTP server

  • Provide SMTP server details and if required provide outgoing server port number. (By default Port Number 465 will be used for SMTP server)
  • Also do provide authentication credentials, if the SMTP server requires one.
  • You also do have options to choose authentication type and SMTP secure protocol.

  • Once done providing SMTP server details, the user can test by sending a test mail and verify it is working successfully.

Email reports

  • You can configure:
    • A single E-Mail ID to receive all success/failure reports from VM Backup Client.
    • Or enable different Email ID for each success/failure report generated (Backup Report/Deleted Backup Report).

Information Note:

Additionally, the Restore Report option will be available in VM Backup Client. Multiple Recipients can be configured by separating two Email IDs by using a comma (,)
