It's a good idea to be on top of your backups to make sure that they don't increase a lot in size and incur high costs. However it's notoriously tricky to make GUI notifications correctly from a non-user process (e.g. root).

Since my laptop does not run a mail server, I went for a solution to set up my laptop to be able to send emails with [postfix via my Gmail](https://easyengine.io/tutorials/linux/ubuntu-postfix-gmail-smtp/). Follow the instructions over there.
