Hi there sherrattsp - thanks for letting us know about this.

Can you please clarify if you get these notifications if you completely close or quit the backup utility you mentioned? 

Also, am I correct to assume that you're getting on the Windows end and not on Ubuntu? Do you normally see both devices listed in your account's security page?
