Configuring email notification settings

Using the QoreStor CLI, you can configure email notifications that are sent when a QoreStor Alert occurs. The email alert service is disabled by default, and must be properly configured before the service can be enabled.

To begin using email alerts, perform the actions below :

  • Configure the email alerts service using the command email_alerts --configure.
    • To configure email alerts, you will need to have:
      • The SMTP Relay FQDN or IP address
      • The sender's name
      • A list of email recipients' email addresses.
      • [Optional] a list of email addresses to be CC'ed
      • Optional] a list of email addresses to be BCC'ed
  • Enable the email alerts service using the command email_alerts --enable.

NOTE: Refer to the QoreStor Command Line Reference Guide for more information on using the CLI.

 

Configuring and using the Recycle Bin

This topic introduces the Recycle Bin feature and related concepts and tasks. Refer to the subsequent topics and procedures in this section for more information.

Understanding Recycle Bin

Recycle Bin is a process whereby any data that is deleted from a compromised backup solution can be retrieved from an immutable Recycle Bin by a QoreStor administrator. Data in the Recycle Bin is not visible through client protocols such as NFS and CIFS. You can set a retention period of between 7 and 30 days after which the files are automatically removed permanently from QoreStor.

Recycle Bin is a property of a container in QoreStor. Recycle Bin can be enabled on a container when you create the container or any time later. Only files that are deleted after enabling Recycle Bin are retained in it.

Recycle Bin activation is permanent After you enable Recycle Bin for a container, it cannot be removed from the container configuration.

You cannot delete a container until the container and Recycle Bin associated with it are empty.

NOTE: When you delete a file, you cannot create a file with the same name and location until the deleted file is permanently removed from Recycle Bin.

NOTE: Enabling Recycle Bin does not allow Linux hardlinks to be used.

Compatibility

Recycle Bin is supported with NFS, CIFS, RDA, and OST containers. For more information, see the Quest QoreStor Interoperability Guide.
