Hello, I am using Duplicacy for Windows and ran into an issue where it doesn’t send an email if the storage (SFTP) is offline or if the host key has changed. The client is configured to send emails only when the backup fails.
I ran a test and the email was correctly sent after 4 attempts.

Can you double check? Make sure you’re running the latest version 2.1.0 with build number 3200c6.
Hello, I can confirm no error email message in case local backup:
- Windows / Duplicacy 2.1.1
- Storage type local disk
- I renamed destination storage folder (to simulate missing/unmounted destination volume)
- Duplicacy display popup error message “The storage has not been initialized”
- Popup message is repeated 4 times

But no email message is send.
EDIT: I did not tried block Duplicacy from creating new target folder - so maybe that is problem in my test.
My test with a non-initialized storage:

Emails are sent only after scheduled backups. If you start a backup manually (with scheduled to run at specific times unchecked) then no emails will be sent after the backup.
Hello, I have schedule backup set up and mail are delivered every 30 minutes only if everything is ok.
Today I tried little different test: I stopped Duplicacy, changed “storage” in preference file to another non-existent HDD (volume letter), start Duplicacy and wait 30 minutes for scheduled backup.
I get 4 popup warnings, but no email message

When I changed volume letter back - email with successful backup arrived.
