WHS Client Backup Notifier

Experience Level: Medium

WHS Client Backup Notifier sends a daily e-mail that confirms that all PCs connected to your home server have been backed up successfully.

Extract both files to C:\Program Files\Windows Home Server\ and then edit the config file in Notepad to add your SMTP details.

You can add a Scheduled Task on the server to run WhsClientBackupNotifier.exe once a day (or however often you want), and you’ll get emailed the current backup status of each client.

Developer: Sam Wood
