It would be nice to have som email formatting to represent more what's happening instead of a plain text message. Something like Veeam has:

What we could have:

Hello there,

I have been detecting slow uploads in different clients with the same S.O , aka Windows 10, after quite a long research I've detected that the only way to fix it (apart from waiting for Google to fix it) is installing Cygwin and running the gsutil commands through Cygwin.

I say Cygwin and not WSL because Cygwin has the ability to connect to Windows Shares and that might be necessary for some scenarios (at the very least in mine).

As an example, a client of mine has a bandwidth of 500 Mb and the uploads are going at 4.5 MiB instead of 50 like it should, once I installed and tested it with Gsutil cp , the speed increased to the expected.

This might be useful for professional environments with Nagios or any other System Monitor, so we can read those logs directly and monitor gcloud-backup more effectively and precisely.

• Change smtp server and port, for instance.

This function is hard to digest, we should do it simpler like this:

We get the today date and we substract it from the fileDate (in days) if its bigger than the Days to keep backup it should be deleted (also if its 0 it should be ignored)

Known bug that happens if the folder you're uploading has numbers, those numbers will interfere and be recognised as a date when they're not.

As I see it, there's 2 ways of solving this:

1. Get Modified date for each file from Gcloud.
2. Remove the folder's name of the string of file's path and then get the date as usual.

The 1st option would be the "pro one" but I'm concerned about performance since you have to get each file's date and 2nd one is easier and does not affect performance.

If the folder or filename have spaces the upload fails. Fix soon

It'd be nice to be able to indicate the path of the conf file so we can have several conf files for different backups or for different purposes.

Right now the date of the files is fetched from the filename, as how is the code atm, it would work for Veeam 10, 9 and possibly 8, but there might be changes with the naming convention from the veeam team, not only that, but this could be open for other backup solutions.

For that I think the best idea would be to have a dictionary with the key being the version and program and the value the filename format.

Allow users to define a Network share and force powershell to mount it in case the user hasn't started a session, this is mainly for Scheduled tasks that will fail if not done properly.

• Change user or password
• Remove credentials
• Rework of credentials so we can assign credential file's to server's or to a concrete connection.
