Another option would be, if you have to have that positive affirmation, and if you are running Nagios on your network, there is a plugin/check called check_backuppc, which will issue an alert in Nagios if any monitored host does not get backed up. From the help file:
$ check_backuppc -h check_backuppc - 1.1.0 A Nagios plugin to check on BackupPC backup status.
Options: --hostname,-H only check the specified host --exclude,-x do not check the specified host
--archive-only,-a only check the archive hosts --backup-only,-b only check the backup hosts --status-only,-s only check backup status, omit connection failures that are less than $Conf{FullPeriod} old
--warning,-w days old an errored host must be to cause a warning --critical,-c number of days old an errored backup must be to be critical --reduce,-r maximum number of failed hosts for severity reduction
--verbose,-v increase verbosity --version,-V display plugin version --help,-h display this message
--b
