Subject: [BackupPC-users] FEATURE REQUEST: More robust error reporting/emailing

It would be great if there could be a way to have a host/share
configurable way to trigger emails based on certain types of errors or
changes.

The goal being to avoid the "complacency" of backups continuing to run
but not being aware of either continuing backup errors or unexpected
changes to the underlying system.

Otherwise, one must rely on regular and pretty detailed review of logs
and stats.

Helpful configurable options would include:
- *Days* since last successful backup - *per host* configurable - as you
  may want to be more paranoid about certain hosts versus others while
  others you may not care if it gets backed up regularly and you want
  to avoid the "nag" emails

- *Number* of errors in last backup - *per host/per share*
  configurable - Idea being that some hosts may naturally have more
  errors due to locked files or fleeting files while other shares may
  be rock stable. (Potentially, one could even trigger on types of errors
  or you could exclude certain types of errors from the count)

- *Percent* of files changed/added/deleted in last backup relative to
  prior backup - *per host/per share* configurable - idea here being
  that you want to be alerted if something unexpected has changed on
  the host which could even be dramatic if a share has been damaged or
  deleted or not mounted etc.

Just a thought starter... I'm sure others may have other ideas to add...
