Windows server 2008 backup monitoring

[Damsonuk]

I know the backup monitoring works from 2008 r2+ natively but is there a way of reporting for sbs 2008? Whether it be event log or power shell driven? Cheers

Hi,

 

Welcome to the Pulseway community.

 

You can monitor the Windows Event Log for failed or successful backups with Pulseway by consulting with this KB article.

Hi.

 

I just installed Pulseway on 4 servers just to realice that 1 is 2008 Standard and 1 is 2008 FE non of which are supported by the WBS. Am I correct that the link you provided above lets Pulseway monitor such old servers for Backup-status? The page you link to says" Applies To: Windows Server 2008 R2".

I would really, really, really love to be able to monitor these 2 servers...

Hi Björn,

 

Unfortunately, Windows Server Backup server module is not supported on operating systems older than Windows Server 2008R2 because there is no API support on the older operating systems.
