DAILY BACKUP CHECK

System administrators have to 
check by various means whether 
the daily backup is sucessfully 
completed. 

One way is to 
maintain a short log file which 
will log 4 or 5 lines everytime 
the backup is completed. 

The latest backup results will be 
automatically checked by System 
administrator on login, if he adds 
these lines at the end of his 
.profile file.

tail -5 /PATH/SHORT_LOG_FILE.log
