I've been testing out different backup software across our environment and the one thing that I can't seem to get a handle on is the monitoring of these backup solutions. I can't find one backup system that does everything that I want it to do, so I have a feeling that I'm going to end up with a few different pieces of software.
With that said, is there any sane way to monitor disparate backup solutions?
The only thing I've been able to find thus far that is completely agnostic is PRTG’s IMAP Sensor. I realize this is not a solution that should be solved by parsing email subjects/bodies, but I don't really know what else to do. Has anyone had experience with this product for this purpose and is it effective?
