Re: [BackupPC-users] Not getting any mail after the backup

2014-01-22 Thread Gopu Krishnan 
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

 Hi Holger,

 But I am not getting the notification even when the backup fails;that is
 the basic thing we need. Only bogus notification I am getting. :(

 Thanks,

  How old the most recent backup has to be before notifying user. When
 there have been no backups in this number of days the user is sent an email.

 If all of you hosts normally should be backed up every day you may set
 $Conf{EMailNotifyOldBackupDays} = 1.1

There is no email after the backup. No news is good news. (Except for
when backuppc is stopped altogether.)

You only get mails when you are responsible for a host and the last
backup is too long ago.

There is a script out in the wild sending you a daily summary but for
that you can also look at backuppc summary page. And when you get an
email every day, the days where there is a problem don't stand out.

Have fun,

what is $Conf {EMailUserDestDomain} set to? When you write mail emai_address,
do you mean an unqualified address (i.e. without @domain.tld)? You will
either need to arrange for unqualified addresses to be forwarded to the right
place (which you might already have done) or set up EMailUserDestDomain.

Hope that helps.

Holger
