What I do for that is turn it around, instead of checking for a failure I alert on the absence of a success. backrest has hooks, so on snapshot success it pings a push monitor in uptime kuma (healthchecks.io works the same), and if no ping arrives in ~26h it alerts. That way it catches the backup that never ran, which is the one that scares me the most I guess
Oh, that's really interesting! I couldn't find a way to find absence of success given Backrest's metrics alone, but using hooks for that seems to solve that problem well. Thanks!
