We feel that it is prudent to alert to any failure events recorded in the backup, even where a success event is discovered, as this error may be an indication of a larger problem with the backup or the device.
Custom Checks
Where the Backup product you wish to monitor is not currently supported a custom check can be added to monitor its status.
Event Log Check
If the Backup product writes its update information to the Windows Event Log the Event Log check may be used to determine the status of the backup jobs.
Scripting
There is also the option to author a custom script to monitor the status of the Backup jobs, perhaps querying its native log files for this information.
