Automated MEGA Backup Verification
Every morning, WebRun signs in to MEGA, opens each backup folder you track, checks whether files arrived overnight and how big they are against a normal night, reads your remaining storage, posts the verification to Telegram, and queues a Twilio text whenever a backup is missing.
How do I check my backups actually ran last night?
WebRun opens each MEGA backup folder every morning and checks whether last night's file arrived, how big it is against a normal night, and how much storage is left. It posts the verification to Telegram and queues a Twilio text for approval whenever a folder came up empty.
- A missed backup is caught the next morning, not at restore time
- Suspiciously small files are flagged as likely partial runs
- Storage running low is visible before an upload starts failing
Built for IT admins · managed service providers · small businesses · studios handling large files

How is each run configured?
Secure by default
Connect once, stays signed in
WebRun signs in once and keeps each session in a persistent environment, so every run picks up right where it left off.
Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Does it move, delete, or share any files?
No. WebRun only reads folder contents, file timestamps, and your storage figure in MEGA. It never deletes, renames, moves, downloads, or creates a share link. File uploads are blocked by the policy on this template.
How does it know a backup is incomplete rather than missing?
It compares last night's file size against the previous few nights. A file that arrived but came in far smaller than normal is flagged as suspicious in the Telegram post, which usually means the job failed part way.
Will it text me every morning?
No. The Twilio text is queued only when a folder received nothing overnight, and even then it waits for approval before sending. Normal mornings produce just the Telegram post.
