Backup Status Notifications
Because scheduled backups may be running even when the Backup Administrator is not running, it is
necessary to provide a method by which the system administrator is informed of the status of backups. These
status messages include indications of when backup jobs are started and completed, as well as any errors or
warning messages that occur prior to, during, or after the completion of a backup. The messages will also
include notifications of the automatic expiration and overwriting of prior backups (as determined by the
Backup
Retention Policy ).
By default, the messages will appear only on the screen, if available, and if the screen is not available (Backup
Administrator is not running), the messages will be sent to the root user’s mail. This option will allow you to
change the default method of notification.
To change the settings, select File !Preferences!Backup Status Notifications on the menu bar. The following
screen will appear:

not, the messages will be reported using the
alternate notification method indicated in the next section.
