How do I catch a Carbonite device that has stopped backing up?

WebRun checks every device in Carbonite each morning for a completed backup in the last 3 days, and flags anything overdue. It schedules a same-day follow-up in Google Calendar and posts the stale device list to Microsoft Teams, sorted oldest first, so a quietly failing backup gets checked before it becomes a real data loss risk.

  • Stale backups are caught within days, not during a data loss
  • IT gets a same-day follow-up scheduled automatically
  • The oldest, highest-risk devices are flagged first

Questions, answered

Will it try to fix the backup itself?

No. It only flags stale devices and schedules a follow-up. Diagnosing or fixing the backup is left to IT.

How long does a device have to be stale before it is flagged?

Three or more days without a completed backup. Anything over 7 days is marked high priority in the Teams list.

Does it create a new calendar event every day for the same device?

It creates one follow-up event per stale device per run, so a device that gets fixed drops off the list the next day.

Put this on autopilot.
