Simple Script to get Mails from Free Veeam Agent for Linux
vee-mail uses the sqlite database which get's filled from Veeam Agent for Linux Free in /var/lib/veeam/veeam_db.sqlite. The Linux version from Veeam Agent does not send notification e-mails like the windows version. So this script reads the data from the sqlite database and fills it into the template file which get's sent per mail to you.
