Not sure how it works there, but routine logs of things that generally work tend to get ignored. Backuppc presents a web page with the current status of all the hosts if you want the routine stuff. But more importantly it lets you designate a list of 'owners' for each target host to (a) allow access through the web interface and (b) get an email when backups have failed for a specified number of days. Emails that only come when there is a problem are generally noticed, unlike the ones that come every day and usually don't require any action. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
