Setting up Email Notification For Backup

Chapter 5 Backing Up StorNext

Types of StorNext Software Backups

•StorNext database journals

•Configuration files

•File system journal files

Note: These backups DO NOT back up user data. This procedure backs up only StorNext-related system files.

Before you run a StorNext backup, be sure to set up email notification as described in Setting Up E-mail Notification on page 67.

Email notification is an important part of the StorNext backup process. When you select the Backup option on the Configure Email Address screen (see figure 41 on page 70), key information about a completed backup is emailed to the address you specify. This email contains the following important information:

•The required media for restoring from a complete set

•Names of configured storage disks or deduplication storage disks

•Any SNFS configuration files for file systems that are not data migration-enabled are appended to the email
