That's what we did. We're still using the old v5 reporting module and I built a little report that does a filespace query and shows the age and backup date of each. That gives you a rough way to determine if a backup failed because its age will differ from the rest of the nodes in that schedule.

That will at least let you know if you're current. Steve STEPHEN STACKWICK | Senior Consultant | 301.518.6352 (m) | stephen.stackw...@icfi.com | icfi.com ICF INTERNATIONAL | 410 E.
