Change notification message on backup completion messate

Thread needs solution

Using Acronis 2018, I'm backing up to two separate locations at different days of the week. Would like to change the standard "Backup task completed successfully" to something more meaningful which incorporates the location of the backup image.

Is there any way to change the standard notifiction message?

Thanks.

Bob, welcome to these public User Forums.

On the ATI 2018 backup task Notifications settings page, you have some options that you can change which will help you make the subject for your backup emails more relevant and easier to see which task was involved.

See the ATI 2018 User Guide:  Notifications for backup operation

Change the message subject in the Subject field, if necessary.

To simplify monitoring a backup status, you can add the most important information to the subject of the email messages. You can type the following text labels:

  • %BACKUP_NAME%—the backup name
  • %COMPUTER_NAME%—name of the computer where the backup was started
  • %OPERATION_STATUS%—result of the backup or other operation

    For example, you can type: Status of backup %BACKUP_NAME%: %OPERATION_STATUS% (%COMPUTER_NAME%)
