Question about email notifications in Veeam Backup & Replication v12.3.2

[Max93]

Hello everyone,

we have enabled email notifications in Veeam Backup & Replication v12.3.2. The issue is that we are now also receiving messages with "warnings".

For example, we have created two Protection Groups that contain around 30 PCs. Some of these machines are only powered on occasionally, while others are running low on disk space. As a result, we frequently receive warning emails that are not really relevant for us. Unfortunately, there seems to be no option under Options > Email settings to configure this more granularly.

I noticed that it is possible to configure notifications for each Protection Group individually (right-click > Notifications). But if I do this, will it override the global notification settings? Do you know what I mean?

Hi Max93,

As per the User Guide, you must have Global notifications enabled and the emails listed in the Global settings will receive all updates. The emails listed on the Protection Group notification settings will get only the emails about the Protection Group.

The Success/Warning/Error configuration on the Protection Group notifications will only apply to reports regarding that specific protection group.

Thank you for your reply, Mr. I’ll give it a try So the global notification is basically just a master switch that enables notifications in general? If this option is not activated, we won’t receive any notifications at all, even if they are defined within the protection groups – did I understand that correctly?

You're very welcome for the answer.

And your understanding is correct -- enable Global Notifications else you will not receive any notifications.
