Each backup job reports when successfully completed to provide an audit trail for your successful backups. If you are scheduled to run daily backups and you do not see the daily email the backup did not successfully run. We're open to understanding if there is a better behavior for this process. My worry is if we email on both cases people see the message come through and ignore the details where it shows 'failed'.

Thanks for reaching out Bret. The issue I've found is it's much harder to monitor on an email NOT arriving, than one arriving with specific text. With the latter I can be as lazy as setting up a GMail fiter, with the former... I'd have to build my own reporting system that knows you'll email about 8-9am and if the email doesn't arrive, assume it's failed. That's a lot of overhead.

How to best monitor something doesn't happen (e.g. a scheduled, remote job) is something I've yet to solve.
