Supported software
MSP360 backup monitoring.
MSP360 (CloudBerry) sends a notification after each backup plan run, set on the plan or company-wide in the Management Console.
- Built in
- A rule for MSP360 reports comes with every workspace. No agent, no access to the backup server.
- Per job
- The report carries no job name: give each backup its own address, or keep one backup per client.
- 1 min
- A report shows under its backup within a minute of arriving.
- 15 min
- Between checks for reports that did not arrive. Silence is never read as success.
Point MSP360 at your client address.
Every client gets its own email address when you add it. Reports sent or forwarded there are read by the built-in rule for MSP360, and each result lands on the backup it belongs to.
The full guide, step by step- Open the backup plan's settings and look for its email notification option.
- Add the client address, or set a company-wide notification email in the Management Console's settings.
- If this product cannot include the job name in the email, use the backup's exact address instead.
How a report finds its backup.
- Matching
- The built-in rule reads the result of the report but not a job name. With one backup under the client, every report sent to the client address is credited to it. With several, give each job its own address (shown in the job drawer) wherever the product lets you set a recipient per job. Reports that cannot be told apart wait in the Inbox for you to assign.
- Check it works
- Run the job once, or wait for the next scheduled run. Within a minute the report appears under the backup, or in the Inbox when it could not be matched. A product's own "send test email" is not a backup result: expect it in the Inbox, where you can ignore it.
Then every MSP360 job has a status.
- Status
- Each report sets Healthy, Warning or Failed. Failures in a row count as a streak.
- Missing
- No report inside the job’s window and the backup turns Missing, like a failure would.
- Attention
- Failed, missing and warning backups are listed for the team, to acknowledge, snooze or resolve.
- Alerts
- Email, Slack, Microsoft Teams or PagerDuty, and a recovery notice when the next report is OK.
Also read out of the box.
Most MSPs run more than one backup product. They all report into the same list.
Start with one MSP360 backup.
Point its report at the address you get on sign-up. Within a day you will know whether it reported.
