A simple script to send an email with important information about a dirvish backup run via email. Also sends an extra email on error. Add it to post-server in your dirvish.conf. Based losely on http://wiki.dirvish.org/FuhHoe

Thx, works with Ubuntu Server 14.04.1 LTS, dirvish and postfix :)

One problem: i've two vaults to safe, the /home/ directory (huabanet-homes) and the /var/data directory (huabanet-data). The notification for huabanet-homes works always, but the notification for huabanet-data works only sometimes...

If an error occurred this is the error message: 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/etc/dirvish/dirvish-mail", line 41, in <module>
    transfered_file_size = re.findall(r'^Total transferred file size: (\d+) bytes$', fid_log.read(), flags=re.MULTILINE)[0]
IndexError: list index out of range
huabanet-data:default post-server failed (1)

Did you know what to do?

Thx for help,
Huaba
