How to monitor borgmatic backups

marschi

Hi, I do backups with borcmatic.
As I push to a remote system, it might happen that the target system is not reachable and the backup does not succeed. I would love to get notified in such cases. How do you monitor borgmatic backups?

thank you

I use healthchecks.io. There is even a healthchecks hook in borgmatic: https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/how-to/monitor-your-backups/ Works really well and you can host it yourself but don’t have to.
