Job failure notification

Hello,
I created a job that will execute two dts packages at night. Both back up
different databases from the remote server to the local server, so they are
not dependent on each other. Also, if the first one fails, the job steps to
the second one. However, I would like to be notified if either/both of them
fail (and know which one failed).
Can I do this or should I have two separate jobs. If possible, I would
rather get an email saying DTS Package 1 failed versus having to look at the
each log file to determine which one failed.

Thanks in advance,
StevenWhy are you using DTS to do backups ?
You can have a job fire that will backup databases. You would have a job
per server you wanted to backup. You can specify the location of the backup
file using UNC. When you say backup do you actually mean data transfer ?

What I meant to write was data transfer.
