Automated Vultr Backup Coverage Checks
Every Monday, WebRun opens Vultr, checks every instance for auto backups and recent snapshots, books a short fix-it block in Google Calendar for the servers left unprotected, and sends you the gap list on WhatsApp.
How do I check which of my cloud servers have no backup?
WebRun reviews your Vultr instances every Monday and flags any server running with auto backups off or no snapshot in the last 30 days. It books a fix-it block in Google Calendar for the gaps and sends you the list on WhatsApp, so no production server sits unprotected.
- Unprotected servers surface in a weekly list instead of after an outage
- A maintenance slot is already booked before you open the console
- Stale snapshots older than 30 days get caught while recovery is still cheap

Questions, answered
Will it change my Vultr settings or delete snapshots?
No. WebRun only reads your instance and backup settings in Vultr. It never enables a paid backup plan, takes a snapshot, or deletes anything. The fix stays your call, and the calendar hold is there to remind you.
How does it decide an instance is unprotected?
It flags two cases: auto backups switched off, and no snapshot taken in the last 30 days. You can raise or lower that day count to match your own recovery target.
What happens on a week when everything is covered?
You get a short all-clear message on WhatsApp and no calendar event is created, so your maintenance window stays free.
