Check backup warnings?

If Oops!Backup encounters an error while trying to backup a file it will either:

(a) fail the backup OR
(b) continue backing up and just add a warning to the backup.

Oops!Backup uses a number of conditions to determine whether to fail the backup or not.  Warnings are created when it is better to complete the backup and simply skip the problematic files.  

Example 1:  If a file is locked by another process and VSS is disabled then the backup will complete with warnings.
Example 2:  If the backup drive is disconnected during a backup then the backup will fail.


Checking For Warnings:
A failed backup is denoted by a red alert icon:  
A successful backup which has warnings is denoted by a yellow alert icon: 

When viewing the backup history, you can drill down a backup which contains warnings by "Right-Clicking" on the backup in the list and choosing "View list of warnings":


This will bring up a form with a list of the files that were skipped during that backup.
