Notifications Resource

Backup provides several types of preconfigured notification messages that inform you about Backup activity: license status, client file index size, media attention, and the results of a scheduled backup.
Notifications are displayed in the Backup administration resource. They can also be sent to you through email or pager, or sent directly to a printer. Table 2-7 lists preconfigured notifications.
