Freedom9 4020 user manual Email Alerts, Deleting a client

Deleting a client

If you remove DiskSafe Express from a particular computer, or if you change the computer name, the original computer name remains on the storage system and counts toward the total number of computers that are allowed to back up to the storage system. To both delete all backups of all disks for a particular computer and the computer name, you must delete the client itself.

To delete a client:

1.Select the radio button to the left of the computer whose backups and computer name you want to delete from the storage system (in the first Select column).

2.Click “Delete Client”.

3.When prompted to confirm the deletion, click “Yes”.

All backups of all disks associated with this computer are deleted, and the computer name is also deleted from the storage system.

Note: If you delete a client and the user did not previously remove protection for that disk, when the user subsequently accesses DiskSafe Express, the Status page will indicate that the backup of the protected disk is offline. To back up the disk once again, the user must remove protection and then protect the disk again.

3.7Email Alerts

Clicking on the “Advanced” button in the menu will open the Alerts page (Figure 3-18) which allows you to set up the storage system to send notification emails to up to three email addresses if a problem occurs—for example, if one of the disks fails, or if insufficient space is available for creating new files or performing a backup. To take advantage of this feature, you must have access to an SMTP e-mail server, either within your own network or through an Internet service provider.

Note: The e-mail might not be sent immediately when the problem occurs, but will be sent within an hour of the event. In addition, if the problem is fixed within an hour of its occurrence – for example, if you replace the disk that failed – the alert will not be sent.
