Windows server 2008 r2: Backup notifications

Question

Is it possible to have Windows server 2008 r2 notify, preferably by e-mail, when a backup failed or had warnings?

We've had the issue of having backups that are incomplete (luckily detected before there was any need for the backups), but we don't want this to happen again. Knowing ourselves in that we probably will forget to log into the server every day to check this, I'd want a notification...

Thanks in advance.

You can use Task Scheduler to monitor events in Microsoft-Windows-Backup/Operational log, and email notification to you on errors and/or success.
