Enabling email notifications for product (event) messages

Email notifications can be sent to a specified email address if there are any errors or warnings that occurred when a backup is run.

Note:

If you do not have an SMTP server, this feature is unavailable to you.

Notifications can also be sent to the system event log and a custom log file located in the Agent folder of the product installation.

If notifications are not delivered, check the setup of your SMTP server to ensure that it functions properly.
