Backup notifications only on error

[foux]

Hello,
I'm sorry this is certainly a question allready answered, but I can't find it anywhere.
I've got a backup job running every 4h15 minutes on my server. I'd like to receive mails only in case of errors, but I receive mails on each backup execution. Is there a way to limit the mails to errors? On the settings of the backup task, I can't select to send on errors only :


Thanks for your help!

You currently have Send email: Always, you can switch that to On failure only. Optionally you can select the Notification mode: Notification system and use matching rules to filter what to send when, see https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pve-admin-guide.html#chapter_notifications

The issue is that I can't change to "On failure only". As you can see in my screenshot it is greyed out and I can't edit it.
Thanks

You will have to provide the email address first, then you can change the field.
