Hi all,
I value the time all of you spent on assisting me to resolve my issue. So I
am updating this ticket with my findings. Really, I had a custom script in
my server which was sending out the notification upon successful
completion. The location of the script is mentioned in backuppc
configuration as
Edit config --> Backup Settings --> User commands -> DumpPostUserCmd as
/opt/email.sh $xferOK $host $type $client $hostIP $share $XferMethod
$sshPath $cmdType
where /opt/email.sh is the custom script.
I have pasted the contents of email.sh if anyone want to use:
#!/bin/bash
# script to send simple email
# Email To ?
EMAIL="your_email_address"
# Email text/message
EMAILMESSAGE="/tmp/emailmessage.txt"
# Grab the status variables
xferOK=$1
host=$2
type=$3
client=$4
hostIP=$5
share=$6
XferMethod=$7
sshPath=$8
cmdType=$9
# Check if backup succeeded or not.
if [[ $xferOK == 1 ]]; then
STATUS="SUCCESS"
else
STATUS="FAILED"
fi
# email subject
SUBJECT="[BackupPC] $STATUS for host: $client"
# Email text/message
echo "Filesystem backup for $host $STATUS" > $EMAILMESSAGE
echo "" >>$EMAILMESSAGE
echo "Type: $type" >>$EMAILMESSAGE
echo "Client: $client" >>$EMAILMESSAGE
echo "Host: $host" >>$EMAILMESSAGE
echo "Host IP: $hostIP" >>$EMAILMESSAGE
echo "Share: $share" >>$EMAILMESSAGE
echo "XferMethod: $XferMethod" >>$EMAILMESSAGE
echo "sshPath: $sshPath" >>$EMAILMESSAGE
echo "cmdType: $cmdType" >>$EMAILMESSAGE
# send an email using /bin/mail
/bin/mail -s "$SUBJECT" "$EMAIL" < $EMAILMESSAGE
I am not sure whether it a default feature in backuppc
