Configuring Your Backup Client

It’s critically important that you configure your backup client to send it’s default notification alert to Alert Centric instead of a custom one. We work closely with backup vendors around the world to ensure our system is in line with their notification best practices.

In addition to this, we highly recommend configuring one client backup job per Alert Centric monitoring job. This ensures that your reporting is accurate.
