I usually check my emails while on my autopilot commute to work

Does it have to be by monitoring emails or do you have control over the backup script? I’m using Uptime Kuma to monitor my backups via push monitors. My backup scripts call a webhook to indicate success or failure. If the webhook isn’t called for X hours, the backup is also marked as failed. Works really well.
