Failed Backup Warning

We have included a prompt to warn you if your backup has failed. The prompt will inform you when you first open any of the Z programs and at 2 hour intervals thereafter.

The warning will prompt you and provide you with the option to retry the backup in case it was a once off occurrence e.g. the computer the backup was saving to was off at the time.
