It would be great if there could be a way to have a host/share configurable way to trigger emails based on certain types of errors or changes.
The goal being to avoid the "complacency" of backups continuing to run but not being aware of either continuing backup errors or unexpected changes to the underlying system. Otherwise, one must rely on regular and pretty detailed review of logs and stats. Helpful configurable options would include: - *Days* since last successful backup - *per host* configurable - as you may want to be more paranoid about certain hosts versus others while others you may not care if it gets backed up regularly and you want to avoid the "nag" emails - *Number* of errors in last backup - *per host/per share* configurable - Idea being that some hosts may naturally have more errors due to locked files or fleeting files while other shares may be rock stable. (Potentially, one could even trigger on types of errors or you could exclude certain types of errors from the count) - *Percent* of files changed/added/deleted in last backup relative to prior backup - *per host/per share* configurable - idea here being that you want to be alerted if something unexpected has changed on the host which could even be dramatic if a share has been damaged or deleted or not mounted etc. Just a thought starter... I'm sure others may have other ideas to add... _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
