One of Windows backps has now failed consecutively about 20 times in
the last 2 days with the message:
        Got fatal error during xfer (Child exited prematurely)
I am not getting any email messages about these failures and I only
even realized it because when running 'top' I noticed that this
particular dump seems to always be running.

Is the only option to change the setting of $Conf{EMailNotifyMinDays}
to less than 1?

This question/comment goes along with my earlier email about wishing
for better handling and notification of timeouts and failures. A lot
of bandwidth is wasted when a full backup fails after 90 minutes...

It would be great to have more granularity over what errors to report
and when you want them reported.
