[BackupPC-users] Email Reminders for Retired Machine

2006-04-19 Thread Kristjan Onu 
I have retired a machine and set $Conf{FullPeriod} = -2, but despite this, I
continue receiving no recent backups email reminders. Can these reminders be
disabled?

  Set this also
  
  $Conf{EMailNotifyOldBackupDays} = 365.0;
  
  Thus it will only email once a year, you could probably use -1 to 
  disable completely.

i don't know about the -1, but setting to 365 will simply hold it off
for a year, then it will mail every day.  1 worked for me.  :-)
(actually, i just checked, and after a year i set it to 1500, so i'm
good for a few more.)

After reading the config file it will send a backup email after 365 
days, then keep sending based on the following setting


#
# Minimum period between consecutive emails to a single user.
# This tries to keep annoying email to users to a reasonable
# level.  Email checks are done nightly, so this number is effectively
# rounded up (ie: 2.5 means a user will never receive email more
# than once every 3 days).
#
$Conf{EMailNotifyMinDays} = 2.5;

Thus every 3 days after the first year.

So i guess doing...

$Conf{EMailNotifyOldBackupDays} = 365.0;
$Conf{EMailNotifyMinDays} = 365;

should mean...

Only notify after 365 days if a backup has not been done,
then only send additional notifications every 365 days there after.

There's probably a cleaner way though.

Regards,

Les
