E-Mail Notification Options

SQL Backup Manager can send an email to specified addresses whenever a backup or restore operation completes successfully or fails, or only when a backup or restore operation fails.

To make this option available, you must enter the email settings to be used. You can then specify the email addresses in the backup or restore wizard.

On the Tools menu, click Options. In the SQL Server box, select the name of the SQL Server instance for which you want to set up email notification, and then click Email Settings.

In the SMTP host box, type the name of the SMTP server that SQL Backup Manager is to use when sending emails, and in the Port box, type or select the number of the port on the SMTP server (defaults to 25).

If your server requires authentication, type the user name in User name, then type your password in the Password box. Note that the password is stored in plain text in the SQL Backup Manager settings file.

In the Send from box, type the email address from whom the email will be sent.

To send a test email to ensure your settings are correct, click Test Email, and enter an email address for the recipient. When you click OK, the test email is sent.
