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

Hi.  I'm running BackupPC 3.1.0 for about 3 years now and love it.  It
just works.

I go into the Web admin UI once a week or so and check the host
summary to make sure backups are chugging along.

Is it possible for BackupPC to email me that summary?

I looked at /usr/bin/BackupPC_sendEmail but it looks like it will only
email if BackupPC is down.

Thanks,
