Description

Motivation

We did not notice e.g. through alerts that backups were not being updated since July 26.

See #134489

Acceptance criteria

  • AC1: Alerts are received when backup jobs fail

Suggestions

  • ~cron.service was failing~ The cron job was failing, but we were never notified about it. The systemd service doesn't fail because of individual jobs.
  • Use a systemd timer which would give us systemd services alert failures

Out of scope

  • Try and see a simple check for the existence of recent backups
% journalctl -u cron.service
Aug 20 12:00:01 backup-vm rsnapshot[15218]: /usr/bin/rsnapshot alpha: ERROR: Errors were found in /etc/rsnapshot.conf, rsnapshot can not continue.
