Hi,
Recieving every day emails from my pve server about a "1.5 Tb windows file server" backup on a pbs server (all always kept to latest versions thanks to Proxmox folks generosity with the no-subscription apt repo), i noticed that nightly backup times vary from less than 2 hours to nearly 19 hours, on a 1 gigabit lan.
1) It could be interesting if backup times statistics show somewhere on the dashboard.
2) When setting up email alert in backup job, one could choose the option to be only notified "On Failure" or, with estimated backup time being know and "told to proxmox", when backup time exceeds a given threshold (~85%) of that estimated backup time even if it succeeds.
TIA
 
Hi, Feature requests are best made on our bugzilla.proxmox.com/
Regarding config flag, there is one for mails only being sent on failure, take a look at our admin guide section 16.9
Also, when adding/editing backup jobs in the GUI, there's a dropdown "Email:" where you can select "Notify always" or "On failure only"
