functionality from V4 not in V5?

I was looking and could not find the equivalent to the job failures tab and the backup alerts summary tabs in V5. We use these two tabs alot and would hate to lose that functionality. Is it there and I just didn't see it?

    Hi Giggl
    The jobs failures tab has been replaced by the Jobs tab and activity history tab which report failures as well as successes when you have the v5 server components installed as well as any error messages which were reported during the backup (on the properties window).

    Revamped inactivity alerts will be back in the final release, unfortunately the revamped code for them didn't quite make it into the beta - similarly the log shipping wizard is not in the beta but will make a return in the final release.

    Thanks for the great feedback so far.

    We love the fact that we can view all the jobs through SQL Backup in V5 but it would be nice then to have a button or selection to only see the failed events. We sometimes have servers with many jobs and it would be nice to have an option to see only the failed ones since those are the ones we need to act on.

    Hi,

    Are you interested in the failed backups (IE is this something we should look at on the activity grid) or in failed job runs (IE somthing we should look at for the jobs grid)?

    Thanks,

    Actually Both.

    Just to give you what we do.

    In the morning the DBA (myself) or backup opens SQL backup and goes to the job failures tab to see what jobs (if any) have failed. Currently since it shows only jobs we know if one of the backup jobs fail just know why so we have to research that using SMSS.

    In the new version it would be nice to see all the failed jobs and if it is a sql backup job be able to see the failed backups. I guess the easiest way would be to offer a way to see failed jobs (selection to switch from all jobs to failed) and if we see a job has failed we can go to the activity History and have a selection to switch to failed backups to see what exactly failed.

    Hope this helps to clarify things.
