PRTG Manual: Monitoring Backups
Monitoring your backup software enables you to be sure that your recent backups succeeded. With PRTG, you can check the email notifications of various backup jobs. You only need to do two things for backup monitoring:
- Configure your backup software to send emails to a dedicated email account.
- Configure the IMAP sensor for backup monitoring.
PRTG analyzes the backup emails for you and sets the status of the IMAP sensor accordingly. This way you see the states of all your backup jobs.
