Copying alert text to a document or email
Backup Exec gives you the ability to copy alert information to a document, such as Notepad or Microsoft Word, or to an email. When you copy alert text to a word-processing application or to an email, Backup Exec formats the alert text in a table. Alert text that is copied to Notepad displays in plain text.
