TA-backup
Job assurance
Free for personal use · commercial license required
Backup
restic · borg · rdiff · bacula/amanda CLIs (or a generic wrapper)
Why TA-backup exists
Backups are only real when the exit code, runtime and verify step say they are. TA-backup turns nightly job results into an assurance dashboard so nobody discovers the missing backup during a restore.
What it collects
- Job exit codes and runtime
- Repository size and stats
- Verify run results
Runs on stock tools
No daemons, no agents, no exotic collectors - it shells out to well-known CLIs or reads sysfs, and parses the result into Splunk events.
External tools used: restic · borg · rdiff · bacula/amanda CLIs (or a generic wrapper).
