New MP: Windows Server Backup MP

Yesterday Microsoft released a new MP for monitoring the status of windows server backup and recovery scheduled on the remote server machine. This MP works only on Windows Server 2012 and is targeted at OM12.

What the MP does? Good question! Taken directly from the website:

This monitoring pack will allow you to monitor status of windows server backup and recovery scheduled on the remote server machine.
Alerts are generated when error or warning is reported in the scheduled backup/recovery operation. Alert is marked Red when action completes with error. Similarly, alert is marked Yellow when action completes with warning. Events monitored are:

  • Backup cancelled
  • Backup failed
  • Backup failed due to snapshot
  • Backup partially succeeded
  • Backup succeeded with skipped files
  • Recovery failed
  • Recovery succeeded with warnings

MP can be downloaded from here.
