1. Now that I have a scheduled backup working even when just a non-admin is logged on (in W7) it needs user feedback. When I run an image manually a task bar icon shows it's working. With this scheduled job and the logged on user not being the admin there is no indication. Someone who knows it should back up at a certain time but sees no sign of it will be concerned.

2. Give the user an unavoidable result. Whether they are the admin or not pop up a box that says done and if any error. That way if the don't see the box that they get used to seeing every morning they'll know something is wrong. Otherwise they have no idea if the backup stopped running.

3. Same thing but for the IT who are elsewhere, send an email with results so if the IT doesn't get an email, or the email shows errors, they know there's a problem.

4. Have the email subject line say "success" or "failure".

For 3 & 4, emails for success and failure are already available.

I currently have them sent to my gmail email address.
In the vbscript options that you schedule, you also need to add the email information.
Create a vbscript, and add the following code.
This is what I have at the bottom of my vbs scripts.

Set objMessage = CreateObject("CDO.Message")

objMessage.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing")=2
objMessage.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver")="smtp.gmail.com"
objMessage.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport")=465
objMessage.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate")=1
objMessage.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername")="email@gmail.com"
objMessage.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword")="password"
objMessage.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpusessl")=1
objMessage.Configuration.Fields.Update

objMessage.Subject = strSubject
objMessage.From = "email@gmail.com"
objMessage.To = "email@gmail.com"
objMessage.TextBody = strBody
objMessage.Send
Set objMessage = nothing
End Function
