RFE: please add failed backups to the subject line

Dear Cobian,

I have Backup installed on customer sites over two counties. NO ONE READS THEIR BACKUP LOGS !!!! I am stuck with it. And no matter how may times I show them how either. I has to be so simple and stupid that they will do it.

1) would you consider adding to the TOP of the report the error count.

2) would you please consider adding a "errors xxx" to the end of the subject when a backup fails. Red would be nice too, but that can be a pain to program.

Many thanks,
-T

You can use parameters to add the error count to the end of te subkect.

%ERRORS will do.

In CR ... the ? icon at the top leads to the Help file ... Parameters in the list ... points to ...

Since you already include %COMPUTERNAME on the subject line by default, would you consider adding `: Errors = %ERRORS` to the end of the default subject line as well?

I could not get it to open from Reflector. A reboot fixed it. (I am testing in Windows 11.) Now it works. Thank you!

RFE: would consider you adding a "Search" function to the above index?
