Is that any way to trigger notification when backup job start?

Typically it is for job completion but maybe VONE can do that.  Will need to check.

What about setting the PowerShell script to send email like this:

 

 

This is the PowerSHell script content which can be customized for your use:

# In the next line, paste the results from this command: Read-Host -Prompt 'Password' -AsSecureString | ConvertFrom-SecureString | Set-Clipboard
$EncryptedCredential = "<See comment above>"
$EmailUsername = "email1@email.com"
$EncryptedPW = $EncryptedCredential | ConvertTo-SecureString
$Credential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PsCredential($EmailUsername, $EncryptedPW)
$EmailFrom = "email1@email.com"
$EmailTo = "email2@email.com"
$SMTPServer = "smtp.office365.com"
$SMTPPort = 587
$subject = "Subject email goes here"
$MessageBody = "Email body goes here"

$SMTPSsl = $true

$param = @{
    SmtpServer = $SMTPServer
    Port       = $SMTPPort
    UseSsl     = $SMTPSsl
    Credential = $Credential
    From       = $EmailFrom
    To         = $EmailTo
    Subject    = $subject
    Body       = $MessageBody
}

Send-MailMessage @param

Hope that helps.

Great suggestion!

Just to add, pre-job script is definitely the way to go. You can pull information on the job invoking the script with:

 

$ScriptPID = Get-WMIObject win32_process | Where-Object {$_.ProcessID -eq $PID}
$ParentProc = Get-WMIObject win32_process | Where-Object {$_.ProcessID -eq $ScriptPID.ParentProcessId}
$JobID = $ParentProc.CommandLine.Split())7].Trim('"')
$Job = Get-VBRJob | Where-Object {$_.id -eq $JobID}

Then in PS just pass relevant properties from $Job to your script to send information on it.
