testing e-mails from backuppc: msg#00151

Subject: testing e-mails from backuppc

We have a client who is concerned that BackupPC is not constantly sending
them e-mail messages telling them that things are OK, like other backup
programs do.
(As an experienced backup admin, the only value that constant mails usually
have for me, is to remind me to swap tapes; so backuppc's behavior of not
mailing unless there's a problem is far preferable).

What's the best way to test BackupPC's mail-sending functionality?

<wishlist>
There should be a 'send test e-mail' button in the Admin Options page.
