Re: monitoring backups
Generally speaking, the backup software itself is better at determining if the backup was successful or not and is therefore often the best thing to do the alerting if something has gone wrong.

Re: monitoring backups
To answer your question, there is no as such a back up SW installed on the server, and there is no GUI, all is done from a command line. And the backup does a system and data save.

Re: monitoring backups
00 10 * * * myscript
You script will do something like this
#!/usr/bin/sh
grep "ERROR" backuplog > /dev/null && echo "backup failed on `hostname`|mailx -s "Backup error" e-mail
cat backuplog >> historylog && > backuplog
This will re-name your log file to another log file and everyday, your normal log file wil only contains the last 24 hours of log messages.
Obviously, change the word "ERROR" to something that will appear in the log file when you have a backup error.

Re: monitoring backups
grep "ERROR" backuplog > /dev/null && echo "backup failed on `hostname`"|mailx -s "Backup error" e-mail
is how that line should be.
