Hey there, new user to kopia and am migrating away from another software.

While testing out kopia, I had a question come up. If a snapshot has an error due to a bad file, bad permissions, or the snapshot folder itself is deleted all together, is it possible to have an action provide a status code?

This way my after action can send an alert to be notified that something needs attention?

I’m using healthchecks for my notification handling - so I guess my new question is: is it safe to assume that if there’s an error in a snapshot that the after action WON’T run?

+1 to this. Same use case here and still no information about it.
