Need explanation of log file email logic and why seeing 16 errors using the %ERRORS param
Posted: 27 Mar 2023, 11:25
Greetings:
I used the old Cobian many years ago and recall this same issue but now it's bugging me. Wondering why I'm getting all log files for all jobs when I enable emailing. Thinking that only the job log for the job that just ran should be in the email. I see an option to delete the logs after email, but this seems dangerous in that my only copy of said log is in an email. I think in the past I had a .BAT file scheduled task that moved logs to a folder for safety - cannot recall.
Also, I stole the email subject below from an older forum post and it works, but I get the value of "16" in each email for %ERRORS. I'm guessing the number is coming from one of the older logs that keeps getting added as an attachment but it defineately not in the job that just finished.
*** Email subject params:
Cobian Backup [Errors: %ERRORS] (%COMPUTERNAME) - %TASKNAME
P.S. Years ago, I used your app without ever contributing. Always appreciated it. I just made a donation and wanted to say thanks. It's nice to see this app still around. It has changed but it felt so familiar.
Thanks.
