I'd like to see an option to receive an e-mail every time a backup was succesfully done. Or if for some reason the backup failed. Maybe the start date/tme and finish date/time. Total of MB/GB that was send to S3? Something like that?

MemberOK.
I've made a script wich sort of does the above (apart from the total send MB/GB). If any one is interested, you can find the Arq Watcher script here: http://pastebin.com/aE01uLwK
Sample e-mail:

MemberI've made some modifications:
* support for single digit dates (duh...)
* No body text on success
* Checks for an internet connection
* Checks if the loglevel is set to INFO
* Funky subjects, useful for parsing the e-mail (I presume)
* choice between sendmail and msmtp to send the e-mail
* updated documentation in the scriptPosted 1 year ago #
