41`notes-template`: `<string>` ::
42
4e7f60c2 43Template string for generating notes for the backup(s). It can contain variables which will be replaced by their values. Currently supported are \{\{cluster\}\}, \{\{guestname\}\}, \{\{node\}\}, and \{\{vmid\}\}, but more might be added in the future. Needs to be a single line, newline and backslash need to be escaped as '\n' and '\\' respectively.

47`notification-mode`: `<auto | legacy-sendmail | notification-system>` ('default =' `auto`)::

49Determine which notification system to use. If set to 'legacy-sendmail', vzdump will consider the mailto/mailnotification parameters and send emails to the specified address(es) via the 'sendmail' command. If set to 'notification-system', a notification will be sent via PVE's notification system, and the mailto and mailnotification will be ignored. If set to 'auto' (default setting), an email will be sent if mailto is set, and the notification system will be used if not.
