In NS7, an email notification was sent for both failed and successful backups. NS8 only checks for failures and triggers an alarm. The missing success notification is important for some organizations to comply with quality standards (e.g., ISO 9000).
Proposed solution
- Configure a list of recipient email addresses for each scheduled backup
- When the scheduled backup run completes, send a backup report to the configured recipients
- The report contains the list of successful and failed application backups, along with backup size information
- Add destination storage space information, if available
Alternative solutions
- No UI in the first iteration. Configure the recipient list only via the Redis database
