Configuring Email Notification, Task Scheduling,
and Security
After configuring the basic storage structure on the SnapServer, administrators
should enable event notification, schedule data protection tasks, and configure
security for user-accessible shares. The online help provides details and procedures
for configuring these tasks.

Configuring Email Notification

The SnapServer can provide email notification when certain events occur on the
system.
1
Navigate to
2 Enable Email Notification, specify the SMTP server's IP address and email
addresses, and indicate whether you want to use SMTP Authentication or Secure
Connection.
3 Optionally, change the default 'from' email address for server event notices.
4 Check the box by each event requiring administrator notification and click

Scheduling Data Protection Tasks

Scheduling snapshots and antivirus scans, and creating a disaster recovery image
preserves your server configuration and protects your data from loss or corruption.
Snapshots can be taken to provide a point-in-time image of files and changes to files
to help in quickly recovering from accidental deletion or modification, or to
facilitate performing an offline tape backup of an active data partition.
Note
Some SnapServer platforms require licenses to activate antivirus software.
Navigate to
Storage > Snapshots
schedule snapshots or modify the space available for storing snapshots. Snapshots
should be taken when the system is idle or under low data traffic.
Click the SnapExtensions icon
to enable antivirus, and click
administration user interface for configuration and scheduling of virus scans and
virus signature file updates.
Create a disaster recovery image (DRImage) on the
page. This DRImage should be created after the server configuration is complete,
and can be used to recover the server or a replacement server to the configured
state. See the online help for detailed information on creating and using disaster
recovery images.
