This is by design. Add yourself as user in BackupPC hosts file (or through CGI
"Edit Hosts"), and you will get messages.
For testing run BackupPC_sendEmail without options, like this:
# su -s /bin/bash backuppc -c "/usr/share/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_sendEmail"
BackupPC_sendEmail send warnings or errors (about BackupPC system wide critical
events) to administrative user (i.e. person responsible for BackupPC system)
and notifications (about their particular hosts) to other users (i.e. persons
responsible for host). Last backup age not considered as system error. So
notification about this event will be sent to user, not to administrative user.
(i.e. To: $user$Conf{EMailUserDestDomain}, where $user - user name from the
hosts file).
Documentation states:
$Conf{EMailAdminUserName} = '';
Destination address to an administrative user who will receive a nightly
email with *warnings and errors*. If there are no *warnings or errors* then no
email will be sent.
"$Conf{EMailNotifyOldBackupDays} = 7.0;
How old the most recent backup has to be before notifying *user*. When
there have been no backups in this number of days the *user* is sent an email."
P.S. Last backup fresh enough doesn't mean consistent. You will get e-mail
notification only if host hasn't backed up at all in specified period of time.
