"Some warnings were raised" --on-error error state informed.

Hello

I have a VM backup where I have notifications turned on for on-success and on-error. For that backup I've set the backup-room option to prevent my backup location from growing too large.

I've now gotten the point where on each backup of the VM the storage location gets pruned to allow for backup room.
No problems there..

The problem is that after the backup completes, I see "no errors detected" and then that there were "some warnings raised".
But the backup job follows the "on-error" process, instead of the "on-success" process.

My expectation is that a "warning" should not trigger the error call. Especially after stating there was no errors, just warnings.
Is there anyway to modify this? I'd like to keep on-error in place so if something critical does actually go wrong.

When looking at the .ERR file the following is displayed.

Re: "Some warnings were raised" --on-error error state informed.

Well, that could considered a bug. Classic versions will not be maintained any more though. You can nonetheless edit the main xsibackup file and easily modify the --on-error behaviour, it's at the end of the bash script. Just look for the --on-error string.
