<span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px;"><b>E-mail settings</b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px;">Initially there are several predefined notification <b>delivery methods</b> in Zabbix. <b>E-mail</b> is one of those.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px;">To configure e-mail settings, go to <b>Administration → Media types</b> and click on <b>Email </b>in the list of pre-defined media types.</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/3.0/_media/manual/quickstart/media_types.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/3.0/_media/manual/quickstart/media_types.png" /></a></div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px;"><b><u><br /></u></b></span></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px;">This will present us with the e-mail settings definition form.</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/3.0/_media/manual/quickstart/media_type_email.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/3.0/_media/manual/quickstart/media_type_email.png" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px;">Set the values of SMTP server, SMTP helo and SMTP e-mail to the appropriate for your environment.<b>Press Update when ready.</b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px;">Now you have configured 'Email' as a working media type. A media type must be linked to users by defining specific delivery addresses (like we did when configuring a new user), otherwise it will not be used.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px;"><b>New action</b></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px;">Delivering notifications is one of the things actions do in Zabbix. Therefore, to set up a notification, go to <b>Configuration → Actions</b> and click on Create action.</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/3.0/_media/manual/quickstart/new_action.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/3.0/_media/manual/quickstart/new_action.png" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px;">In this form, enter a name for the action.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px;">{TRIGGER.STATUS} and {TRIGGER.NAME} macros (or variables), visible in the Default subject and Default message fields, will be replaced with the actual trigger status and trigger name values.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px;">In the most simple case, if we do not add any more specific conditions, the action will be taken upon any trigger change from 'Ok' to 'Problem'.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px;"><br /></span></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px;">We still should define what the action should do - and that is done in the Operations tab. Click on New in there, which opens a new operation form.</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/3.0/_media/manual/quickstart/new_operation.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/3.0/_media/manual/quickstart/new_operation.png" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px;">Here, click on Add in the Send to Users block and select the user ('user') we have defined. Select 'Email' as the value of Send only to. When done with this, click on Add in the operation detail block.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px;"><br /></span></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px;">That is all for a simple action configuration, so click Add in the action form.</span></span><br />

Now i will show you how to schedule our backup process. In Linux we use cron jobs in order to schedule task. By default, rsnapshot comes with <a href="http://www.hackthesec.co.in/search/label/cron">cron </a>file under "/etc/cron.d/rsnapshot", if it’s doesn’t exists create one and add the following lines to it. If rules already exist then you need to remove the "#" from of the scheduling section to enable these values.</div>
