No email notification on restore jobs in V8?

[lukeroom]

Hello,

I don't seem to get any email / snmp notifications on restore jobs. The notification at backup jobs works fine.

I have read this topic:
http://forums.veeam.com/veeam-backup-re ... 21390.html

Have you worked on that feature in Version 8?

2. Question
Can i find the content of the "History" tab from the B&R Console on the B&R Recovery Windows file system?
I can find some information about a restore within the histoy tab but not all information that i need.

Why only the files that were restored with the Linux Single File Restore option "restores" is Displayed in the tab "statistics" within history tab and not the files are restored with the option "copy-to '?

thanks & regards

Hello Lukas,
There is no email notification options in UI, but you can easily create your OWN alarms for Veeam B&R if you have Veeam Availability suite. If not, you can monitor these task in the log.
Does it work for you?

I can find some information about a restore within the histoy tab but not all information that i need.

What kind of information are you looking for?
Thanks.

Hi Shestakov,

thank you for your reply. We won´t use this feature for auditing.

In the evenlog i can´t find the source and the destination (sfr) or the servername (fullrestore) and what for a kind of restore was started.

Lukas,
Could you explain your use case of the restore notification necessity?

Destination and Restore type can be found under "Parameters" tab:

Thanks.

Good afternoon,

1. The Use case
We need to process the data on another tool to inform administrators. Therefore, we must be able to access the information on the filesystem.
email or snmp as the backup would also be good.

2. The Problem
The problem is, at a single file restore linux with the option "copy to" is the field statistic empty.
At full server restore all informations completly as you've posted correctly.

regards

Lukas,
1. Got it. Thank you for the feedback, we will take it into account.
2. I guess, you mean "Copy to" option in Guest Files Restore. It`s a known issue. We recently stumbled on it.
Thanks!

Hi,

can the error with the "statistic Field" an the "copy-to option" be corrected in the next time?
Can we access the history (on a filesystem or with a Database connect) for sending notification Emails manually?

regards

The issue with FLR restore "Statistics" field will be fixed. Not sure it will happen in the patch 1, since it`s going to be released soon; but in future releases most probably.
As I wrote in my first post of the topic, these tasks can be found in the log and by use of a script you can send notifications.
Thanks.

In which log´s I can found this information?

In the evenlog i can´t find the source and the destination (sfr) or the servername (fullrestore) and what for a kind of restore was started.

In the Windows event log can be found information about Veeam B&R activities.
You can use them as notifications for the restore jobs.
Short list of event IDs:

Code: Select all

Event ID   Event Name
210        Restore session started
250        Restore vSphere task finished
251        Restore Hyper-V task finished
290        Restore session finished

510        File copy job started
590        File copy job finished
512        VM copy job started
592        VM copy job finished

More info here.
As I wrote, there is an issue with Guest File (Other OS) Restore type, so source/destination information can not be shown so far. Sorry for the inconvenience, it will be fixed in the next updates.
Thanks.

Hello Lukas,
As I wrote previously(Dec, 12th):

The issue with FLR restore "Statistics" field will be fixed. Not sure it will happen in the patch 1, since it`s going to be released soon; but in future releases most probably.

Since the issue was found just 2 weeks ago, our R&D didn`t have enough time to fix and test it. However it`s in the list for future releases. Thanks!
