Backing up a fileshare, job reports 'success', job sends green 'success' email to customer.
Job has not backed up 1.2TB of files.
The email has a description saying "some files were skipped".
To put it politely, a backup job which does not backup the files and then reports success violates the Principle of Least Surprise ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle ... tonishment ). Failing to backup the files should mean the job failed.
Now we have fixed the permissions for the job to backup all the files, but the customer does not trust it and asks for a report of every file backed up included in a report email, every time the job runs.
How can we do that?
