Since JoomlaPack 2.2, the component automatically installs and activates a handy Joomla! Control Panel icon module. This module displays a JoomlaPack icon in your Joomla! Control Panel. Clicking on this icon brings you to the Backup Now page, in order to quickly perform a backup without going through the JoomlaPack's own Control Panel page. Furthermore, this icon is "smart", in the sense that it can warn you if the last backup has failed or if your backup is out-of-date. This behaviour is fully customizable.
From your Joomla! administrator menu, go to , . Underneath the page title, click on the Administrator link to display the administration section modules. Then, click on the item titled JoomlaPack Backup Notification Module .
On the right hand side of the page you can find the module parameters. These are:
Enable warning icon . When enabled, the JoomlaPack icon will have a warning sign if you should make a new backup. The conditions under which this will happen are defined in the following parameters.
Warn on failed backups . If enabled, the warning sign is displayed on the JoomlaPack icon if the last backup has failed or is reported as still running.
Stale backup time, in hours . If set to a non-zero number, the backup is considered "stale" after this many hours and a warning sign is displayed on the JoomlaPack icon. The default value is 24, which indicates that if a successful backup was made more than a full day (24 hours) ago it should be considered stale.
The warning sign is displayed if any of the configured conditions is triggered. For example, if you have enabled both warning conditions and the backup is stale but not failed a warning icon will be produced anyway.
