More job icon states please :-)

I understand the need to see the status of backup runs. But this is something that we have now already. The screenshots shows: “Letzte erfolgreiche Sicherung (last successful backup run)”. We should not show the same kind of information in different places. Instead we should make sure that the status below the backup provides all information that users need. If there is some critical information (like “backup finished with errors”) we can add a coloured icon to the text to grab the users’ attention.

Furthermore, I see backup jobs as static entities. The job itself does not change by itself over time. The status is actually related to the last run of a backup which again was part of a queue and should have created a notification. With this in mind I have sketched a suggestion how to get all those things a little bit more sorted out while maintaining a clean and simple-to-use UI.

You can see my suggestion in Suggestion to improve queue and notifications I would like to get more feedback on it. Maybe we have to make sure that users do not miss important messages like backups runs that failed!?
