Re: [BackupPC-users] Sending Email Summary

Hi,

I've been trying to figure out how BackupPC actually handles email
summaries. I haven't been able to figure this out on the count that most of
the online aggregates (including the docs) seem to lack the information
necessary to set up the email notification. Am I missing something?

Could someone provide the recepie needed to get the script to send out some
notification on when a backup has completed or failed?

Thanks,
Will

PS. I know email works, I tested it via command: BackupPC_sendEmail -u
[Email]

For my previous employer, I had setup a cronjob to pipe the output of `wget -qO - http://intranet/cgi-bin/BackupPC_Admin?action=""> to mail daily rather than relying on BackupPC_sendEmail. This worked pretty good as my employer liked seeing a summary even if all backups were successful.
