Failures hide in noise
Important backup failures and warnings compete with other operational email and dashboard activity.
Backup monitoring and recovery readiness
Know whether your backups are actually protecting your business.
Backup Pulse is backup monitoring software that brings backup evidence from your existing systems into one place to monitor backup health, detect failed and missed jobs, track recovery validations, and understand recovery readiness.
No replacement of existing backup toolsDesigned for SMEs
One clear view across backup evidence, alerts, recovery validations, and executive reporting.
The problem
Backup software reports jobs. Businesses still need confidence.
Backup evidence is often spread across inboxes, consoles, scripts, and different products. Failures can be missed, and recovery readiness is difficult to explain to management.
Missed jobs go unnoticed
A job that sends no message can be harder to detect than a job that explicitly fails.
Success is not recovery
Successful backup jobs do not prove that recovery procedures have been validated recently.
How it works
Centralized backup monitoring without replacing your backup environment.
Add your backup jobs
Register the jobs you expect to run and define their monitoring frequency.
Send backup evidence
Collect backup evidence by forwarding supported notifications or using the HTTP check-in endpoint for scripts and custom jobs.
Act on clear signals
Review backup health, receive alerts for failed and missed backups, track recovery validation, and generate reports.
Core capabilities
Operational clarity for the backups you already use.
Backup health dashboard
See job status, latest evidence, backup age, and open issues in a single organization view.
Failure and missed-job alerts
Detect explicit failures as well as expected backups that never report.
Recovery Confidence
Combine backup health, backup age, and recovery validation into one management-friendly indicator.
Recovery validation tracking
Record restore testing and recovery validation activity against the backup jobs it supports.
