This is worth it. Had this happen on OS backup. Lost my data. Notifs should be default.

Realized today that borgbackup failed for almost 2 months straight on one of my servers (was a simple case of a lock being stuck). Finally setup push notifications via Pushover to notify on success/fail.

Healthchecks is incredibly nice for this kind of thing, it’ll notify you if it doesn’t receive a ‘success’ ping on whatever interval you specify.
I use it for all my Restic backups.

Same. I’d rather be alerted because something expected didn’t happen, not silence because something failed so hard it didn’t even send an alert.

Yeah that sounds even better. What service do you use?

Backblaze B2 for storage, and I host Healthchecks myself at home.
