There are sometimes warnings in XferLog which indicate that certain files did not get backed up, but this is not shown on the Status page as an error. At the very least, it would be nice to have a flag on the Status page saying "look at the XferLog!". As it is, I have to routinely check the XferLog of all my hosts one-by-one, which certainly isn't the quickest way of doing things.
