Publish Backup Events via Syslog and Email

Setup

  1. The Maintenance Configurable Parameters page provides information on how to setup the syslog destination.
  2. The Email destination is configured in the plan definition.
  3. Configure the SMTP parameters from the System Parameters Page, see the System Parameters List Page for a description of each parameter.
  4. If you set a value for "The HTTP Address of the UI" parameter - a link to the DPOD UI will be added to the emails with a shortcut to the relevant plan or task execution results.

The following events will be published via Email and/or syslog (as defined in the backup plan):
