Multiple alert emails after file restore

Problem description

inSync sends multiple emails after performing a restore of a particular file and/or for a specific user.

Cause

This issue occurs when a user selects all the files within a folder individually, instead of selecting the parent folder and initiate a restore.

For example, if a folder A has 10 files and the user does a select all and initiates a restore, instead of selecting the folder A to restore.

In this scenario, inSync treats each file as a separate restore and hence sends an email notification for every file. Hence in case of the above example, inSync will send 10 notification emails. Instead if the parent folder is restored, only one notification is sent.

Traceback

Resolution

  1. Log in to the inSync Management Console and click the Alerts icon on the menubar.

  2. Open the Setting and Subscriptions tab. The list of inSync alerts is displayed on the tab.

  3. Select the alert type for which you want to change settings, and then click Edit. The Alert Settings window appears.

  4. Remove the email ID from the subscription list. The deleted email ID will not receive email notifications for the selected alert.

  5. To stop the user from receiving any user alerts, clear the Notify User checkbox.
