“What counts as ‘backup monitoring tasks’?”
Manual backup monitoring tasks may be so ingrained in your MSP's daily routine that you don't notice how frequently it roadblocks billable work. To get an idea of how much time you and your team are spending, start a log to capture every time you:
- Check an email log for daily or scheduled backup jobs (include time to open inbox and review notifications)
- Identify a failed or incomplete backup
- Create a ticket for a failed or incomplete backup (include time to open PSA and create ticket)
- Resolve a ticket for a failed backup (include time to open PSA and close the ticket)
- Create a backup activity report (include time to compile and summarize data from multiple tools)
For some MSPs, manual backup checking takes up to 90% of a technician's working day. How much of that is billable 🤔?

FAQs
Backup monitoring automation employs software to automatically track, monitor, and verify backups to ensure they run as scheduled and without errors. It reduces the need for manual oversight by sending alerts when issues arise and providing status updates. With Backup Radar, you can also eliminate ticket noise with configurable escalation alerts, automatically sending tickets to your PSA.
Backup monitoring automation reduces manual labor costs — such as hours spent reviewing backup logs — leading to cost savings and increased productivity for technician time. It also eliminates the risk of human error by surfacing gaps in any backup systems, like a "second set of eyes" across environments. This prevents data loss and improves business continuity, helping you maintain the uptime your clients expect and contributing to a higher ROI.
MSPs using Backup Radar for backup monitoring automation, such as MicroAge Swift Current, see time savings of at least 10 hours a week. As Service Coordinator Carol Beyer highlights, backup status reviews are now completed by the time she's finished drinking her morning coffee. Read more.
