Backup Troubleshooting

I Didn’t Realize that the Backups Were Not Working on My Client. What Should I Do?

You should be sending yourself an email message for each job. This will avoid the possibility of not knowing about a failed backup. To do so put something like:

Mail = yourname@yourdomain = all, !skipped

in your Director’s message resource. You should then receive one email for each Job that ran. When you are comfortable with what is going on, you might change that to:

MailOnError = yourname@yourdomain = all, !skipped

then you only get email messages when a Job errors as is the case for your Windows machine.
