This option defines action properties for a mailbox (also known as an e-mail account) located on server or web.

 

 

Recipients

Recipient list

Select a name or multiple names of pre-configured Recipient List(s) by checking appropriate items. If there is none, or you need to create a new one, access Recipient List account properties as described below.

Account properities

Click the 'Configure' button to access the Recipient List manager where you can create and configure your recipient lists. Detailed information about this can be found here.

 

 

Outgoing E-mail Server Account

Account name

Select a name of a pre-configured E-mail server account from the drop down list. If there is none, or you need to create a new one, access E-mail account properties as described below.

Account properties

Click the 'Configure' button to access the Outgoing E-mail Accounts manager where you can create and configure your e-mail accounts. Detailed information about this can be found here.

 

 

Additional File Filter

This option is visible and applies if, and only if, the action is a PART of the Backup step of the Task Scenario.

 

Additional File Filter distinguishes files by mask determining to which file(s) this particular action will or will not apply. In all other respects it is no different from the Additional File Filter that exists in every Target.

Included files

A list of file masks that describe files to which this particular action will apply.

 

Please note, that these masks should somehow overlap with masks specified in SOURCE > Additional File Filter > Included Files (if in use) and should not be completely excluded by masks specified in SOURCE > Additional File Filter > Included Files (if in use). Otherwise, this action will not apply to any files.

Excluded files

A list of file masks that describe files to which this particular action will not apply.

 

 

Message

This group of options allows to set custom values for subject and text fields of e-mails. These values are 'custom' because they override the default values set in the Recipient List and apply to this Target only. If any of these fields left blank, the values from the Recipient List will be used.

Subject

The subject matter of the e-mail. You may use Macro strings in this field.

Text

The body of the e-mail. You may use Macro strings in this field.

 

 

Miscellaneous

Condition

This option is visible and applies if, and only if, the action is located BELOW the Backup, Two-Way Synchronization, Monitoring, or Clean-up step of the Task Scenario.

 

This is a description of an event upon occurrence of which this action will be performed. The event relates either to Source or to task generally. The following events are covered:

 

'Always': action is event-neutral and will always start when AnyFileBckup reaches it at the Task Scenario.

 

'Success': the term 'success' refers to successful completion of either:

-- Backup stage (all files have been transferred from Source to Target(s) and other actions within Backup have been performed), or

-- Two-Way Synchronization stage (Source 1 and Source 2 have been synchronized), or

-- Monitoring stage (Source parameters that are being monitored are exceeded their threshold limits or relevant changes have occurred).

 

When any of these stages is completed properly (depending on the task type), action with this condition will perform.

 

'Error': action will start when task has not performed properly and produced an error. This error may occur at any previous stage of task scenario. Please note that this action will only work if task 'on error' behaviour is set to 'continue task execution' (see Task error handling for details), otherwise this action will not start. It is also recommended put action with this condition at the end of the task scenario, so it can catch any errors that have occurred in a course of task performance.

 

'No changes': this condition is the opposite to the 'Success'--when nothing happens at any of the stages described above: no files have been transferred between Source and Target(s), Source parameters that are being monitored are within their threshold limits or no relevant changes have occurred.
Verify settings

Press the 'Start' button to direct AnyFileBackup to immediately launch this action. This will verify whether all above settings were entered correctly; all errors, if any, will be displayed in a log window.

Enabled

If enabled, this action is active and will be used in Scenario. If disabled, it will remain in the Task Scenario but will be completely ignored by task. To distinguish it from enabled actions, disabled actions are strokeout and coloured in gray.

Title

This is a custom name that will be displayed in the Task Scenario instead of the default title. Press the 'Apply' button for changes to take effect.
