Run program or action on

You can set conditions to run the action after the backup: on Success, on Warnings or on Errors. You can
check multiple options or a single one, but at least one option must be checked.
Please note Backup4all wont wait for the after backup action in order to finish the backup. It will only
trigger the action at the end of the backup.
