2.8.17 Notifications for backup operation

Sometimes a backup or recovery procedure can last an hour or longer. Acronis Small Office Backup
can notify you when it is finished via e-mail. The program can also duplicate messages issued during
the operation or send you the full operation log after operation completion.

By default all notifications are disabled.

Free disk space threshold

You may want to be notified when the free space on the backup storage becomes less than the
specified threshold value. If after starting a backup Acronis Small Office Backup finds out that the
free space in the selected backup location is already less than the specified value, the program will
not begin the actual backup process and will immediately inform you by displaying an appropriate
message. If the free space becomes less than the specified value while the backup is being run, the
program will display the same message.

To set the free disk space threshold:

Select the Show notification message on insufficient free disk space check box

In the Size box, type or select a threshold value and select a unit of measure
