That's terrible. There's nothing worse than losing data.

I'm working on this exact problem at the moment: a dashboard to keep track of your backups to check they never fail. https://backupshq.com

* Get notified when backups fail or take too long via email, slack, webhook, etc.

* Run your backup scripts and tools with an open source agent, which takes cares of reporting backup results to the dashboard.

* Alternatively, write your own integration with our API to report backup results and send logs yourself.

I'm hoping to launch privately soon, I'd love to hear what you think. We haven't made any pricing decisions yet, but definitely want to give free credit to homelabbers!
