 Unix Tip #4386- March 15, 2025
 
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
