NAKIVO

NAKIVO sends a job run report by email after each run. The recipient is set per job, so each job can report to its own address.

1. Set up outgoing email

   Go to Settings → General → Email Settings and enter your SMTP server. Send the test email to your own address first.

2. Add the address to the job

   Edit the job and, on its Options step, put the address in "Send job run reports to". Use the backup's own address here (shown in the job drawer in BackupSentinel).

How reports find their backup

The built-in rule reads the result of the report but not a job name. With one backup under the client, every report sent to the client address is credited to it. With several, give each job its own address (shown in the job drawer) wherever the product lets you set a recipient per job. Reports that cannot be told apart wait in the Inbox for you to assign.

Check it works

Run the job once, or wait for the next scheduled run. Within a minute the report appears under the backup, or in the Inbox when it could not be matched. A product's own "send test email" is not a backup result: expect it in the Inbox, where you can ignore it.
