Notification Rules

General

Storware Backup & Recovery allows a Notification Rules feature to create a semi-custom rule that will send notifications triggered by an event specified in a rule. Go to Settings on the left menu and then click on the Notification Rules button.

Creating new Notification Rule

To create a new rule, simply click on Create button. A new window will appear.

Fill in a name for your rule, set your notification to active and add one or more conditions from a list.
