Setting up Email
Notification For Backup 5Before you run a StorNext backup, be sure to set up email notification as
described in Setting Up E-mail Notification on page 64.
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 40 on page 67,) 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 CVFS configuration files for file systems that are not data
migration-enabled are appended to the email
Note: These backups DO NOT back up user data. This procedure
backs up only StorNext-related system files.
