  • I can't imagine anything more irritating than 24 "success" notifications a day.

  • I only run a backup once every 10 days.

    I can't imagine the reasoning behind doing that, but OK.

With TMNotifier you can send yourself an email when a backup is completed. It also notifies you when a Time Machine error occurs.

The only disadvantage: TMNotifier is not free.

However, there is a free version, but you can only do limited things there... But the small price that has to be paid, it's worth it!

  • Can it only notify upon completed backups? Screening over the options, it seems to be always sending on failures as well.
