La fonctionnalité est simple: Quand un backup échoue, recevoir une alerte pour être prévenu que Gladys Plus n’arrive pas à backup l’instance locale.
Ca permet d’éviter toute catastrophe si jamais les backups sont cassées pendant plusieurs semaines à cause d’une raison diverse (problème d’espace disque, etc…)
I vote for it… let’s hope Pierre-Gilles thinks the idea is good and integrates it quickly! 
It could be a notification in Telegram 
Okay, I know only 9 of us voted for it, but it seems to me this feature is pretty important from a user peace-of-mind point of view.
Here’s what I just discovered…
I would even say that the alert (or another) should appear before this kind of issue. In your case @GBoulvin (and I believe this has already happened to others before you) there should be an alert with a calculation of the space required for the backup leaving 1 or 2 GB free to warn that the backup will soon no longer be possible…
For my part I also voted, even though it shouldn’t happen to me for a while; the failed backup alert remains useful for other cases.
I agree with the request, however I don’t understand why you say you are losing 2 months of data 
Yes OK I understand then.
But for me this mainly raises what should be done upstream: warn the user who installs Gladys that a minimum amount of disk space is recommended (something like 64 or 128 GB).
Because in this specific case, someone with too small a partition will set about resizing it. Needless to say, this kind of operation will require skills that will also allow them to recover their production DB and back it up / restore it manually (that’s what I had to do a few months ago).
So the goal isn’t really to be warned in my opinion, even if that can be useful, the goal is to never have this problem, so to have allocated space in advance! 
Hi @GBoulvin ! I understand your frustration and it’s true that it’s hard to trust the backup system if it doesn’t alert in case of backup errors.
I’ll see if I can do something in the next few days, Gladys 
However, as @Terdious said, in your case you need more than 2 times the size of your DB (database) in disk space, so ideally there should also be an alert when you approach 50% of available disk space (another topic in my opinion)
I really recommend mini-PCs, you get a beast at a low price, with a 512 GB NVMe SSD, you never have to ask yourself the question
So yes AND no
In my case, I’ve always made a habit of installing my Linux distributions with separate partitions for / and for /home, as well as other storage partitions.
And I had a system partition that was too small… even though my SSD is 512GB … the irony! That’s why I think it should be noted somewhere in the docs.
Hi @GBoulvin, as promised I looked into the issue
I added a Telegram alert if a backup fails.
For example, if the error is:
The user will receive:
The PR:
What do you think?
It does the job for me! 
Perfect
Great, thanks for that
THANKS !!!
Sorry for my rant and for pushing too hard… At the time, it got to me
Don’t worry, it’s normal and you should complain about points of frustration, otherwise it’s impossible to improve the software
I’ll integrate that into the next version of Gladys then!
If I may, ‹ the backup (…) has failed › would be more in keeping with grammatical rules .
Thanks @GBoulvin, it’s fixed
It will be included in the next Gladys release!
The feature is available in Gladys Assistant 4.44:
