Deliver results when done |
Checking this will tell VSys to send the backup file via e-mail. A backup file greater than 10MB (this will vary depending on your mail servers) probably won't go through due to e-mail server limitations. If VSys is instructed to deliver files by e-mail, it can only do so via SMTP and does not use any of the E-mail Robots. It does use the settings from the SMTP E-mail Robot and those settings must be accurate and working for report delivery to work. Delivery is immediate. A delivery failure is logged but does not result in a retry of the backup's delivery later. |
FTP results when done |
Use this to have VSys upload the resulting backup via FTP using the settings here. Contact your system administrator for the appropriate FTP settings to use. |
Issues with e-mails being delivered to internal addresses but not external ones? Check that your SMTP E-mail Robot settings are properly authenticating to your SMTP server: most SMTP servers will accept e-mail for local delivery without authentication, but won't relay mail to other servers for unauthenticated users.
