That's what we did.  We're still using the old v5 reporting module and I
built a little report that does a filespace query and shows the age and
backup date of each.  That gives you a rough way to determine if a backup
failed because its age will differ from the rest of the nodes in that
schedule.

You can query the last backup date for the filespaces in your Datacenter
node, where all the VM backups live. That will at least let you know if
you're current.
