1. Open Windows Registry Editor and browse to the following registry key:
   • x86 platforms:

     HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ComputerAssociates\CA ARCserve Backup\Base\Admin\MessageEngine\MonthsPassedInLastMaintenance
     

   • x64 platforms:

     HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ComputerAssociates\CA ARCserve Backup\Base\Admin\MessageEngine\MonthsPassedInLastMaintenance
     

   Right-click MonthsPassedInLastMaintenance and click Modify on the pop-up menu.

   The Edit DWORD Value dialog opens.

2. In the Value Data field, specify 0 (zero).

   Click OK.

   Close Windows Registry Editor.

   Maintenance notification messages are enabled. The Arcserve Backup maintenance notification icon appears in the Windows system tray when maintenance is recommended.
