U4 Backup WatchFrom the 12U plan

Find out a backup failed tonight, not on the day you need it.

Backup Watch checks every backup job across every client each day: did it run, did it finish, is it the size it should be, and is there room left at the destination. Failures raise an alert and, if you allow it, a retry.

How it works

Four steps, printed on the rack label.

  1. STEP 01Connect jobs

    Agents read job results from Windows Server Backup, Veeam, Acronis and Synology Hyper Backup on the machines that run them.

  2. STEP 02Set expectations

    Tell it how often each job should run and how old the last good copy may be before it is a problem.

  3. STEP 03Check daily

    Status, duration, size change and destination free space are checked every morning before the team arrives.

  4. STEP 04Retry and escalate

    A failed job can retry to its secondary target via an approved script. If that fails too, a ticket opens.

Capabilities

What Backup Watch does every day.

Job status, everywhere

One grid of every job across every client, 14 days wide, green, amber or red at a glance.

Freshness checks

Alerts when the last successful copy is older than you allow, even if the job reports success.

Size anomalies

A backup that shrinks by 40% overnight gets flagged. So does one that suddenly doubles.

Destination space

Free space on NAS units and USB drives is tracked so jobs do not fail for want of a few gigabytes.

Cloud fallback

Retry to a cloud target when the local destination is offline, using a script you approved.

Restore test reminders

A quarterly reminder per client to test a restore, recorded in the monthly report when done.

Spec sheet

The details technicians ask for.

From the 12U plan, priced per device per month. Every module reads from the same agent, so there is nothing extra to install.
