# Notification Rules

## General

Storware Backup & Recovery allows a Notification Rules feature to create a semi-custom rule that will send notifications triggered by an event specified in a rule.\
Go to Settings on the left menu and then click on the Notification Rules button.

After an event that will trigger a notification, all recipients who have been added to the notification rule will receive an email notification.
