Subject: LinkSOFT Backup Database Management - Improvements
Summary:    

Improve backup configuration and error logging.  We need to address the following issues:

  1. Backup is not being logged properly. When backup maintenance fails, the error logs do not explain the reasons for failure.
  2. Backup configuration needs to be improved so we can determine which databases are being backed
