Chapter 11. Notifications and event tracing

Sometimes a backup or restore procedure can last for 30 minutes or more. Acronis True

Image Echo Server can notify you when it is finished using the WinPopup service (if you

address the notification to a computer, running Windows) or via e-mail. The program can

also duplicate messages issued during the operation or send you the full operation log

after operation completion.

By default all notifications are disabled.

11.1 Email notification

To set up the e-mail notification, select Tools -> Options -> Notifications -> E-mail:

Provide the e-mail address to which notifications will be sent. You can enter several

semicolon-separated addresses.

Provide the outgoing SMTP server name. A user name and a password might also be

needed if the SMTP server requires authentication.

Some Internet service providers require authentication on the incoming mail server before

being allowed to send anything. If this is your case, tick off Log on to incoming mail

server and provide the server name.

Filling up the From and Subject fields will help the e-mail client program filter

notifications to the appropriate folder. If the From field is left blank, messages will be

constructed as if they are from the destination address.

Below in this window you can choose whether you want to get notifications:

- when the operation is completed successfully (check Add full log to the notification

to add the full operation log to the message)

- when the operation failed (check Add full log to the notification to add the full

operation log to the message)

- during the operation when user interaction is required.
