Still no ability to email status of backup jobs?
Seriously this should be fairly easy to implement, but there doesn't appear to be ANY email notification option for the status of backups.
It should, at the least, send an email (if you do daily) daily, with the status of the previous backup.
As it stands now, we have to login to the site every single stinking day to make sure it ran okay.
This is basic feature, yet NetGear doesn't seem to comprehend this.

- efishmanAspirantHi hurnik,
I am from the ReadyNAS Vault Technical support team. We are starting work on email notifications and if you have any feedback that you would like to see in such a report it would be much appreciated.
-ReadyNAS Vault Technical support team - hurnikAspirantI'd be more than happy to forward the email notices I get from Jungle Disk.
Although I'm not sure what FrontView reports look like
Personally I think a nice summary like what you see when you login to ReadyNas vault:
You get the "green" for succeeded and how many files it backed up and how much MB/GB it backed up.
Maybe the start/stop times as well
Not sure what a failure would look like ("red" button/ball?) - mdgm-ntgrNETGEAR Employee RetiredI think ideally where possible you'd want to indicate if the job succeeded or failed in the subject of the email.
- efishmanAspirantHi guys,
Thank you very much for your feedback. I will pass it along to the engineers. I expect all the things that have mentioned so far will be included in the email reports. Please let us know if you have anymore feedback, I will be happy to report it. I will continue to keep an eye on this thread.
-ReadyNAS Vault support team - hurnikAspirantAny update on this? Almost a year later and I still don't see any email alerts. Although given the "stability" of the ReadyNAS Vault, I'd think this would be semi-high priority (so that you know when it's not working so you can reboot your ReadyNAS).

There is still no email alert when a backup is finished?
