[Feature Request] Email alert on "Waiting for availability" for more than 5 minutes

[ricoh83]

Hello,

As described in the title, I've setup real time one way sync from Windows 10 to my clients NAS server on the same LAN. For some reason,
the NAS was powered off and the client had no clue about it because they were busy with work. One fine day when I randomly checked
the Syncovery status it was stuck at "Waiting for Availability". Although I've configured email alerts on failures, there was no alert whatsoever
on this occasion because I guess "Waiting for availability" is not considered as a failure.

I did see an option to warn if the profile has not run for x days but I would prefer an email alert if the profile has not run or is stuck at "Waiting for availability" for more than 5 minutes because I don't want to leave the liability of the backups failure on my client.

Thanks

Sorry has this question been asked before ? I could not find a solution. Please help

Hello,
what you wrote is true. Currently the only way to get a warning would be to create a separate job to test the connection regularly. That job should not use real-time and should not attempt to copy the same folders. Maybe access some dummy folders on the same network shares. Or the same folders as the main job, but with subfolders set to "None" so that it won't conflict.

Thanks for the quick reply. Is there any possibility of email alert feature in a future version in case of "Waiting for availability" status ?

Yes, I have it on my TO DO list!
