šŸ”’ Smart Backup Monitoring: The Key to Reliable Data Protection

Written by Blog Hero | Aug 10, 2025 11:32:43 AM

Cyber threats are evolving rapidly, and ransomware has become one of the most damaging risks facing businesses today. A single ransomware attack can lock down your systems, encrypt your data, and demand a costly ransom—often with no guarantee of recovery. In these moments, your backup strategy becomes your last line of defence.

But having backups isn’t enough. You need to know they’re working, complete, and recoverable. That’s where VTG’s Backup Monitoring Service powered by Backup Radar comes in.

Our solution ensures that every backup is tracked, verified, and monitored in real time—so when disaster strikes, you can restore quickly and confidently without paying a ransom or suffering extended downtime.

🚨 The Problem: Backup Blind Spots

IT teams often spend 10+ hours per week manually checking backups across different platforms. Even then, 35% of organisations aren’t confident their backups are complete or recoverable.

Manual processes are time-consuming, error-prone, and leave room for silent failures—where backups appear successful but are unusable when needed most.

āœ… The Solution: VTG Backup Monitoring

Our service automates the entire backup monitoring process, giving you:

  • Centralised visibility across all backup platforms
  • Automated ticket logging that integrates with your existing systems
  • Real-time alerts only when action is needed
  • Custom dashboards and reports tailored to your business
  • Compliance-ready audit trails for ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA and more

ā±ļø Save Time, Reduce Risk

By automating backup monitoring, your IT team can save 40+ hours per month—time that can be reinvested into strategic initiatives. Plus, with proactive alerts and trend analysis, you can prevent issues before they impact operations.

🧠 Automated Ticketing: Smarter Incident Management

Our system doesn’t just monitor backups, it acts on them*. Backup Radar can automatically:

  • Creates tickets for failed or missed backups
  • Appends related alerts to existing tickets
  • Closes tickets when issues are resolved
    *platform and service desk dependent

This means your team only sees actionable alerts, reducing noise and improving response times.
