Cloud Backup:Manage alert contacts

Last Updated:Sep 21, 2023

Cloud Backup sends alert notifications to alert contacts or alert groups. To send alert notifications, you must create an alert contact and an alert group. Then, you must add the alert contact to the alert group. To receive alert notifications, you must specify an alert contact or alert group when you configure an alert rule for a backup vault.

Create an alert contact

You can add an alert contact to multiple alert groups.

  1. Log on to the Cloud Backup console.

  2. In the left-side navigation pane, click Notification Contacts.

  3. On the Contacts tab, click Create Contact.

  4. In the Create Contact panel, configure the Contact Name, Description, and Notification Methods parameters

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

  6. Verify the information and click OK.

Create an alert group

An alert group can include one or more alert contacts.

  1. Log on to the Cloud Backup console.

  2. In the left-side navigation pane, click Notification Contacts.

  3. On the Notification Contacts page, click the Groups tab.

  4. On the Groups tab, click Create Group.

  5. In the Create Group panel, enter a name and description for the alert group and add one or more alert contacts to the alert group.

  6. Click OK.

What to do next

On the Contacts and Groups tabs, you can perform the following operations on the alert contact or alert group that you want to manage:

  • Edit

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

  • Delete

    After you delete an alert contact or alert group, alert notifications that are sent from Cloud Backup cannot be received by the alert contact or alert group. Make sure that you no longer need the alert contact or alert group before you perform this operation.
