Is there an option to email a warning too? I currently have the MAILTO_ONERROR set, but I'm not getting warnings.

We have a situation where sometimes SQL Agent stops running on one of the log shipping sources. The restore jobs just have a warning ("no log files found"), but since those are not emailed out, sometimes I dont notice the issue.

is there a MAILTO_ONWARNING parameter that I'm not seeing?

(this is on 5.0, but we plan to move to 5.3 this month)

    That is a bug, and will be fixed in the next release. Thank you for taking the time to report this.

    MAILTO_ONERROR should send email notification on all warnings and errors. Version 5.3 introduced a new keyword, MAILTO_ONERRORONLY, that sends email notification only when errors are encountered.

    Hi-

    I noticed that the 5.3 version of SqlBackup has a documentation bug---on the "The RESTORE Command" page in the Windows help file, the MAILTO_ONERROR and MAILTO_ONERRORONLY have identical descriptions.

    Thanks,

    -Mike
