Hi there

 

I'm looking for a notification code to add in my backup script which I found on this site. By the way it works like a charm. I really recommend it to anybody who looks for a backup solution like apples time machine.

 

Would like to have to messages:

 

1. after finished without problems

2. if there is a problem, with information about the problem

 

Sorry, I'm not a coder. Can anyone help me please?

 

Thanks in advance.
