Configuring EventSentry

Top Previous Next

You can configure EventSentry to perform two useful things in regards to a system backup:

1.	Notify you when the backup does not complete in the specified time interval

2.	Log backup activity to a database or text file

3.	Receive a weekly summary on Monday morning confirming that the backup ran succesfully

You could configure EventSentry to email you when the backup did complete, but this would mean that you would get another email every day. The first option is more elegant and will notify you immediately when there was a backup problem.

All following instructions will apply to a fresh install of EventSentry 2.60 (or later), but will also work for already customized installations.
