Send email notifications when backups complete or fail.

Description

Admins need to know when scheduled backups fail, especially for unattended cron-based backups. Add configurable email notifications to the system plugin.

Requirements

  • Email on backup failure (always)
  • Email on backup success (optional)
  • Configurable recipient email(s)
  • Use Joomla's built-in mail system (Factory::getMailer())
  • Email includes: backup name, status, size, duration, log excerpt
  • Per-profile notification toggle

Implementation Notes

  • Add to plg_system_mokobackup or create an onAfterBackup event
  • Fields: notify_email, notify_on_success, notify_on_failure

Testing Plan

TC-F1.1: Failure notification

  1. Configure notification email in profile
  2. Trigger a backup that will fail (bad backup_dir)
  3. Verify email sent to configured address
  4. Verify email contains error details and log

TC-F1.2: Success notification

  1. Enable notify_on_success
  2. Run successful backup
  3. Verify email sent with backup details (name, size, duration)

TC-F1.3: Disabled notifications

  1. Disable notifications
  2. Run backup (success and failure)
  3. Verify NO emails sent

TC-F1.4: Multiple recipients

  1. Enter multiple emails (comma-separated)
  2. Run backup
  3. Verify all recipients receive email
