Overview

This management pack will allow you to monitor the status of Windows server backup and recovery tasks scheduled on a server.   Alerts are generated when an error or warning is reported in the scheduled backup/recovery operation. The health state is marked red when any action completes with an error. Similarly, the health state is marked yellow when an action completes with a warning. These are the monitored events:

• Backup cancelled
• Backup failed
• Backup failed due to snapshot
• Backup partially succeeded
• Backup succeeded with skipped files
• Recovery failed
• Recovery succeeded with warnings
