Until last weeks we had started the backups from watchful.net or frontend backup from another hosting.

Now we have moved to own cronjobs. The backup works fine, but there is no more mail after backup.

Is it send only on front-end end backups not on cron based backups?
How to receive a mail?

Sincerely

Peter

Akeeba Backup will not send emails for backups triggered through a CRON job.

You can, however, configure your CRON server to send out emails upon the completion of a CRON job. If you are unsure about how that works on your site, please ask your host; the exact implementation is very much server-specific.
