Cove Data Protection

Cove Data Protection (N-able) sends backup status emails from its management console.

1. Open the notification settings

   In the Cove management console, open the Notifications settings of the device or of the backup profile.

2. Add the address

   Add the address as an email recipient for backup status notifications, including completed backups.

How reports find their backup

The built-in rule reads the result of the report but not a job name. With one backup under the client, every report sent to the client address is credited to it. With several, give each job its own address (shown in the job drawer) wherever the product lets you set a recipient per job. Reports that cannot be told apart wait in the Inbox for you to assign.

Check it works

Run the job once, or wait for the next scheduled run. Within a minute the report appears under the backup, or in the Inbox when it could not be matched. A product's own "send test email" is not a backup result: expect it in the Inbox, where you can ignore it.
