14.6.3.2 Time-based alerts
Last backup
This option is effective when the console is connected to a managed machine (p. 439) or to the
management server (p. 439).
The option defines whether to alert if no backup was performed on a given machine for a period of
time. You can configure the time period that is considered critical for your business.
The preset is: alert if the last successful backup on a machine was completed more than 5 days ago.
The alert is displayed in the Alerts view of the Navigation pane. When the console is connected to
the management server, this setting will also control the color scheme of the Last backup column's
value for each machine.
Last connection
This option is effective when the console is connected to the management server or to a registered
machine (p. 440).
The option defines whether to alert if no connection was established between a registered machine
and the management server for a period of time so indicating that the machine might not be
centrally managed (for instance in the case of network connection failure to that machine). You can
configure the length of time that is considered critical.
The preset is: alert if the machine's last connection to the management server was more than 5 days
ago.
The alert is displayed in the Alerts view of the Navigation pane. When the console is connected to
the management server, this setting will also control the color scheme of the Last connect column's
value for each machine.
14.6.4 E-mail settings
The option enables you to configure e-mail settings to send notifications about alerts which occurred
on the managed machine.
The notification schedule and the types of alerts to send are configured in Machine options > E-mail
settings > Alert notifications (p. 335).
The preset is: Disabled.
Note: Alerts warn only about problems. Therefore, e-mail notifications about successful backup or recovery
operations will not be sent. These e-mail notifications are configured in Backup options > Notifications > E-mail
(p. 113) and in Recovery options > Notifications > E-mail (p. 158) respectively.
To configure e-mail notification
1. In the E-mail addresses field, type the destination e-mail address. You can enter several
addresses separated by semicolons.
2. In the Subject field, type the notification subject or leave the default value. Variables are not
supported in this field.
3. In the SMTP server field, enter the name of the outgoing mail server (SMTP).
4. In the Port field, set the port of the outgoing mail server. By default, the port is set to 25.
