I looked at the code:

exits != 0 is the only way.
The script must also write a text message to stderr.

There is 3 kinds of message that a backup can print:

 1. normal message: result of backup is SUCCESS
 2. strange message: result of backup is STRANGE
 3. error message: result of backup is FAILED


stdout of a script is always normal message
stderr of a script is STRANGE if exit == 0
stderr of a script is FAILED if exit != 0

It should be verified and added to the documentation.
