WISHLIST: e-mail Notification Option on Media Change

Post by Meathammer »

Hello,

Just wondering if a feature could be added. I backup my server to DVD-RW media and it currently takes 16 DVDs when I do a full backup. Well needless to say, that's a lot of media changing and now that I've moved my home office upstairs, I'm much further away from my server. I would like to be able to have Backup4All send me an e-mail when it's ready for the next disc for my backup. This would help me get the backup finished in a more timely fashion. Ideally, I think and SMS message would be better, but I don't have an e-mail to SMS service nor do I want to pay for one. So unless there is another way that Backup4All could do this, the e-mail notification would work best.

Hopefully others would find this feature as useful as I.

Hi,

We will think about your suggestion. At this time we don't have plans to implement such a feature.
Do you know you can monitor your backups remotely with Backup4all Monitor? You can read more here: https://www.backup4all.com/backup4all-monitor.html
