Notify user about errors

Thread needs solution

Hi,

I'm using a backup plan to backup my work pc every Wednesday to an external hard drive. This drive is not always connected, so I have to plug it in before the backup starts. Unfortunately I don't always remember to do that.

The problem is that B&R starts the task and fails "silently". If I open the console I will see the errors. But since I forgot that its backup day it is very unlikely that the console is open at this time.

Is there a way to tell B&R to notify me with a windows popup? In True Image 10 there was the progress icon in the task bar which appeared when a task started. I'm missing that in B&R.

Thanks,

Arne

Hello Arne,

Thank you for using [[http://www.acronis.com/enterprise/ | Acronis Corporate Products]]

You can set the WinPopup notifications in the Default backup options (Options -> Default backup options -> Notifications -> WinPopup).

Please note that there is no WinPopup service in Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008.

Thank you.
