Another option would be, if you have to have that positive affirmation, and
if you are running Nagios on your network, there is a plugin/check called
check_backuppc, which will issue an alert in Nagios if any monitored host
does not get backed up. From the help file:
$ check_backuppc -h
check_backuppc - 1.1.0
A Nagios plugin to check on BackupPC backup status.
Options:
--hostname,-H only check the specified host
--exclude,-x do not check the specified host
--archive-only,-a only check the archive hosts
--backup-only,-b only check the backup hosts
--status-only,-s only check backup status, omit connection failures that
are
less than $Conf{FullPeriod} old
--warning,-w days old an errored host must be to cause a warning
--critical,-c number of days old an errored backup must be to be
critical
--reduce,-r maximum number of failed hosts for severity reduction
--verbose,-v increase verbosity
--version,-V display plugin version
--help,-h display this message

All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a
definitive record of customers, application performance, security
threats, fraudulent activity and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
sense of it. Business sense. IT sense. Common sense.
