Tasks

Quota

If the used quota in percentage is bigger than the threshold, the appropriate error message is sent (see who will be informed). The threshold is variable value which is read from the accounts backend (LDAP directory) entry. (The reseller and/or the customer can change the threshold for the given account using the selfcare web-interface (not implemented yet).)

Schedule

Each (more or less up-to-date) backup client (developed by stepping stone GmbH]) uploads scheduling information to the server when backing up a computer. According to the scheduling information, the server can check if a backup was executed at the correct time or not. If not an appropriate error message is sent (see who will be informed). (The reseller and/or customer can define after how many not executed backups he or she wants to be informed using the selfcare web-interface (not implemented yet).)

Unsuccessful

Each (more or less up-to-date) backup client (developed by stepping stone GmbH]) uploads the status of the backup to the server after backing up a computer. According to this status information, the server can check if the last backup was successful. If not an appropriate error message is sent (see who will be informed). (The reseller and/or customer can define after how many not successful backups he or she wants to be informed using the selfcare web-interface (not implemented yet).)
