I don’t log into admin gui everyday. I try to avoid it. And others just seem to ignore any warnings. Lol

The script I have can be updated for anything, mostly. So right now, it’s checking backups from connection, callmanager, imp, cue, others….

Have you not found that the "Last Successful Backup: 0 day(s) ago" on the home page is accurate? It has saved our asses at least twice - where there was some problem with the sftp server DRS was backing up to. When this happened, a giant alert came up. But, I don't know if that happens in the case of a hang... I would think it would, since that wouldn't count as a "Successful Backup"... surely...

I spent some time about 10 years ago, maybe more, writing a script that basically checked for backup files daily. Checks datestamps and minimum sizes. It's saved us on countless occasions. RTMT will do a good job telling you the backup has failed, but, if the backup process hangs, it's not going to do diddly.

It makes me sleep at night. That's for sure.

More like weekly. Lately have seen a bug we’re the backups never finish they just start over and run forever.
