Backup Exec 11d used to give me pop-up alert dialogs to remove and insert backupcartridges. This was very handy when a non-tech had to handle the backup chores. But since I edited the backup job to change the start time window the alerts no longer pop up. Yes, they appear on the alert pane -- but a pop-up dialog at the top of the z-order is harder for a non-tech to ignore. Truth is, I didn't orginally setup the backup and am not expert on this product.
How do I make alerts pop-up in a dialog box?
