Netvault 11.4 - Unable to acknowledge individual warnings

Hi david_turner

The "Acknowledge" option by design clears all warnings and errors.

If you select a specific job and choose to Acknowledge, it asks "Are you sure you wish to clear errors and warnings on: All regular jobs in the 'warning/failed' state?"

As for the Actions button which is an option-able setting to the left of the Jobs Table under 'Actions' at the bottom of the Jobs Table screen, you can set it back by clicking the "Settings" icon at the top of the WebUI:

I hope this helps!

True, but perhaps the "Acknowledge" option when highlighting a specific job should in fact just acknowledge that particular job. However, they initially have been introduced to be acknowledged as a whole. The way to clear an individual job from the "warning/failed" state is to actually find why the job is in that state, fix, and then have its Exit Status as Successful.

That being said, jobs in Warning are actually just Successful jobs with a warning flag and no need to run those again to clear it.

Additionally, Warnings themselves are usually and most often nothing to be concerned about. They typically are logged in that state when a backup skips files that are locked, or too busy at the time to be backed up, or not backed up because of OS exclusions lists and the like. If these are Windows Servers and File System Plugin BUs and you are using the "Standard" backup method in the "File System Plugin Options" - then consider changing the option to VSS instead of Standard. It may eliminate some of the warnings on these jobs because files will be backed up after a VSS Snapshot has been taken, thus not affected by a lock or activity.

I hope this helps even further!

In 12.0.1 I can acknowledge individual warnings. Seems to me like they made some improvements here

11.4.5.15 as well
