Feature Request Email Alert for Exceeded Time

Post by jplopper »

Every once and awhile, a job hangs. Recently it hung on populating the VMs. Since the job hadn't failed and was still running, I never got a failed email. I hadn't logged into the server for a few days and this job was hung the whole time. It would be awesome to get an email if a job exceeded X length of time.

You can enable the option to terminate the backup job if it exceeds the backup windows. Then set up the window to be the entire day except right before the job would start. That would allow the backup to run for just under 24 hours before Veeam would terminate it with an error (and then send you an e-mail)

If you Veeam ONE installed, you can create a backup alarm in Veeam ONE and specify job maximum duration. You will be notified, whenever the period is exceeded.

You can even go as far as to terminate a job automatically in case when it runs longer than expected.

Thanks.
