Monitoring backups

If the DLP backup process fails, an email notification is sent to the recipient. For more information such as reason for failure, go to Forcepoint Security Manager and select Main > Logs > System logs.

For information on configuring the email notification, see the Alerts section.

Every backup operation writes start and completion entries in the System logs screen.

In addition, every backup operation writes an entry in the Windows Event Log. Third- party tools such as Microsoft’s SCOM and the open-source Zenoss can be used to monitor the backup process and create alerts and reports.
