After the final rsync command, add the following lines and change recipient email address.

exitst=`echo $?`
if [ $exitst -ne 0 ]; then
echo "Some error occured during backup process. Please check" | mail -s 'Mail Server Backup Error' <recipient email here>
fi

Hi yasanthau
what u have write the command . its not working ,. if anything else then plz revert

It is not a single command. It is the piece of shell script that will shoot an email if the backup process fails. You have to add that part just below the rsync command of your backup script.
