Re: [BackupPC-users] Email Notifications Not working

[Doug L. <su...@dr...>]

Is it my understanding that it notifies a user when it has never backed 
up or when it's been a while since the last backup.  I have mine set to 
14 days.  After that it notifies a user that it's been a while and to 
make sure to connect to the network.

I have a custom script setup to allow daily notification to the end user 
when a backup completed successfully and to send email's to the 
administrators when a serious error has occured.  I use BackupPC's 
variables in my script to decide what is/isn't critical and act 
accordingly.  The command line program that I use to send the emails is 
called Postie.
