Primary Notification

One of the options in this section must be selected to determine where backup status messages should be
reported:

1. Show on Screen if Administrator is running, else send to alternate notification.


If this option is used, messages will be reported on the screen if the "sbadmin" program is running. If
not, the messages will be reported using the

alternate notification

method indicated in the next section.

2. Show on screen if Administrator is running, and also send to alternate notification


If you want messages always reported on the screen (when SBAdmin is running) and also sent using
the

alternate notification

method, select this option.

3. Do not show on screen, always use alternate notification


Select this if you do not want messages reported on the screen. In this case they will always be
reported using the

alternate notification

method. Selecting this option is equivalent to using the first

option when the SBAdmin is not running.

4. Do not show on screen, do not use alternate notification

If selected, the messages will not pop-up on the screen and will not be sent to the

alternate notification

.

The messages are still logged for displaying on the screen at a later time. You will be asked if you want
to display the messages whenever SBAdmin is started, when it is exited (in which case the log is
cleared), and you may also press the

View Log

button on the

main screen

to display the log at any

time.

Alternate Notification

In this section, you will select how backup status messages should be handled when the alternate
notification method is used. The alternate notification method will be used any time

SBAdmin

is not running

(cannot be displayed on the screen) and/or when the second or third options of the

Primary Notification

are

selected.

1. Mail to user

By default, messages will be sent to the root user's mail when the alternate notification is used. If you
want a different user to receive the mail messages, select this option, then enter the user id in the

Storix System Backup Administrator
