I need to take different type of backups(code backup, database backup, user uploaded files backup) from amazon instances, I need to make sure this backups are running properly and if any backup fails I need to get mail (failure is may be because of hacks or server failure)
What currently I am planning is to send mails after every backup to a mail address, and a script will read that mails, if any mail is missing it will shoot a mail to real email address.
I am doing this because I need to maintain different clients web sites backup,
can anybody suggests any better way, basically I am not a sys-admin guy I am a developer who is trying to solve my problem, sys-admins can please suggest any tools or better scripts to do this
