When DPM generates an alert, it marks the alert with one of the following three severities:

Informational Informational alerts provide information about data protection activities that might not require any action on your part.
Warning Warning alerts provide information about potential problems that do not require immediate action but should be investigated.
Critical Critical alerts provide information about problems that need immediate resolution, either by DPM or by you, to ensure that your data is fully protected.

To resolve an alert that requires action on your part, review the alert details, determine what is causing the problem, and perform the recommended action. This section provides additional details about individual alerts to help you diagnose and resolve problems. To ensure that you are notified of critical alerts, you can subscribe to notifications that will be sent by e-mail.
