I would like to deploy into our infrastructure a web interface that could register when the copies are finished and if for some reason they haven't. The current issue is that we are doing on site backups for customers, for each backup a mail is sent ad the end of the backup, the problems is that sometimes the mail isn't sent for a variety of reasons:

  • System doesn't have internet
  • Backup system crashed before sending the mail
  • etc..

What I'd like to do is to have a web interface that the backup software cant visit after doing the backup (either if it's a success or a fail), that acknowledges that the backup has finished, after some time, I'd like to receive a report of the machines that hadn't done the backup.

Is there anything remotely similar to this that I could use/adapt to our environment?

UPDATE: Just found out this (paessler.com) that seems to be a privative solution of what I intended.
