Hello,

i create a scheduled Task that runs one day a week at 6pm on a usb stick. I configured email and winpopup notification but i get no email or Popup when the task failed or i forgot to insert the usb stick. If i test the email and Popup Notification by pressing the "Test" Button everything works fine. Is this a bug? How can i get a notification if my task could not run?

Regards
Christian

With what you said, I would have expected an email but I have not tested this on my end.
However since you did not get an email try this...
use notepad and create a 1 line batch file that would fail if the stick is not installed.
a simple command such a dir on the stick would suffice.
dir \\machine\device\
or
dir f:

if the usb stick is installed the batchfile will work.
if it not installed the batch file will blow up.
edit your acronis backup task to call this batch script as a preprocesssing task.
set the check boxes to fail the backup if the batch script fails.

I would think this has to force acronis to send you an email if USB not installed at backup runtime.
