Preferences: Event Alerts

Use this tab to control SmartBackup behavior when various events occur, for example you can select the sound that will be played when a backup project is started or completed, or a critical error occurs etc...

You can personalize alerting messages and sounds for the three possible ways of executing a project:
       1) Scheduled Project Run - for projects run automatically using SmartBackup Schedule;
       2) Manual Project Run - for projects run manually by pressing the Run button on the toolbar or the "Enter" key;
       3) Application Silent Mode - a special command-line mode started using the command “smartbackup.exe /silent”; this can come in handy if you wish to run a project automatically using MS Windows Task Scheduler and utilize SmartBackup event alerts.

You can select individual alert settings for the following events:
        Project start - this event launched at every project startup.
        File operation - every file operation (copy, move, etc.).
        Disk Spanning - this event will be launched if there is no free space, allowing you to insert the next disk. This event will be launched only if destination is an removable media device, in case of fixed disk an Error event will be launched.
        Critical Error - every project error message.
        Warning - every project warning message.
        Project Finish - launched when project finished working.

You can use the following notifications types:
        Show message dialog
        Show balloon message at system tray
        Play sound
