Cloud Backup:Manage alert contacts

Last Updated:Jul 09, 2024

Cloud Backup sends alert notifications to alert contacts and alert contact groups. To receive alert notifications, you must create alert contacts and alert contact groups and add the alert contacts to the alert contact groups. When you configure alert settings for a backup vault, you can select an alert contact or alert contact group to receive alert notifications.

Create an alert contact

An alert contact can be added to multiple alert contact groups.

  1. Log on to the Cloud Backup console.

  2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Alerting and Auditing > Notification Contacts.

  3. On the Contacts tab, click Create Contact.

  4. In the Create Contact panel, enter a contact name, description, and email address.

  5. Click Send and enter the verification code that is sent to your email address.

  6. After the email address is verified, click OK.

Create an alert contact group

An alert contact group can contain one or more alert contacts.

  1. Log on to the Cloud Backup console.

  2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Alerting and Auditing > Notification Contacts.

  3. Click the Groups tab.

  4. On the Groups tab, click Create Group.

  5. In the Create Group panel, enter a group name and description, and select alert contacts.

  6. Click OK.

What to do next

On the Contacts or Groups tab, find the alert contact or alert contact group that you want to manage. You can perform the following operations:

  • Edit

    If an alert contact or alert contact group no longer meets your business requirements, you can click Edit in the Actions column to modify the alert contact or alert contact group.

  • Delete

    If you delete an alert contact or alert contact group, the alert contact or alert contact group can no longer receive alert notifications from Cloud Backup. Before you delete an alert contact or alert contact group, make sure that you no longer need the alert contact or alert contact group.
