I’m curious what people are using to monitor their backups? I have Borg running on a cronjob, but checking logs periodically is getting tedious, so I’d like to automate that if possible
I just use ’’’borg list [mypath] | tail 1’’’ in my zshrc on my desktop to see the last backup date. I guess you could make it work on server if you mail that output to yourself or something similar. Maybe add it to your cronjob?

something that important I’d put into the login banner as well.
