If you set the Messages to append value to “All messages”, then you will see all messages in the file.
If you set it to “Errors and warnings”, then all “note” messages will be omitted. Likewise, if you set it to
“Errors only”, then only the messages of type “error” will be shown.
The message types indicated above (i.e. "JOBERR") will also appear in the subject line of mail
messages if mail is used as the alternate notification method.
Server/Device Error Handling
When a job starts, either through the scheduler or manually, the software will verify that data can be written to
the specified server or device. If unavailable or write-protected, by default, a notification message will be sent
using the
Backup Status Notification Policy
, the job will fail and the queue will be shutdown. This prevents
subsequent jobs using that device from failing and essential places those jobs in a waiting status until the failed
job is removed from the queue. This option allows you to change this default behavior.
