BackupPC will keep re-trying if a backup fails (for example, backing up
over a VPN and the client drops a connection). So in essence, the emails
are more of a "Client Backup Failed, and I kept trying for 3 days but no
luck" notification.
Also, it's a single email with a list of problematic client, not a single
email per client.
If you set up a user and corresponding email per client, then BackupPC also
sends a reminder email to that user if the client hasn't been backed up in
X days.
