Get a Phone Call When
Veeam Backup Fails

Receive voice phone calls for backup job failures, warnings and critical events. No waiting for email or SMS — the alert reaches your phone instantly.

Backup Failed — You Find Out in the Morning

The Veeam backup job failed at 2:00 AM. Email was not read. You arrived at work at 9:00 AM, the maintenance window passed, and data has been unprotected for 7 hours.

There's no ready-made solution worldwide for Veeam backup alert notification, voice warning or backup failed phone call — Alertalk was built to fill this gap.

Scenario: Production SQL Server backup has been failing for 3 days. Veeam email notifications are going to the spam folder. You don't notice. When a disk failure occurs, you have no backup.

How Does It Work?

1

Veeam Job Fails

A backup job fails, generates a warning or a critical event occurs. Veeam's Post-Job Script feature kicks in.

2

PowerShell Triggers Webhook

The ready-made PowerShell script sends an HTTP POST to the Alertalk webhook URL. Job name, status and error message are automatically transmitted.

3

Your Phone Rings

Alertalk calls you. The voice message announces the job name and error status. You are notified within seconds. 2:00 AM doesn't matter.

Which Veeam Events Will Call You?

Configurable for all critical events including Veeam backup voice alert, backup failed alarm and backup warning notifications:

Backup Job Failed Backup Job Warning Repository Full Backup Copy Failed Replication Failed Agent Backup Failed NAS Backup Failed Tape Job Failed SureBackup Failed Configuration Backup Failed

PowerShell Integration

Add the following PowerShell code to Veeam's Post-Job Script feature. Get your webhook key from the dashboard.

PowerShell — Post-Job Script
$webhookKey = "YOUR_WEBHOOK_KEY"
$webhookUrl = "https://tr.alertalk.net/webhook/$webhookKey"

$jobName    = $args[0]   # Veeam job adı
$jobResult  = $args[1]   # Success / Warning / Failed

# Sadece hata veya uyarıda çal
if ($jobResult -ne "Success") {
    $body = @{
        message = "Veeam backup $jobResult: $jobName"
    } | ConvertTo-Json

    Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $webhookUrl `
                      -Method POST `
                      -ContentType "application/json" `
                      -Body $body
}
