Every backup job, one verdict
Your backups are only as good as the last time someone checked them. In most organizations that check is a weekly glance across three vendor consoles, and the gap between "the job ran" and "someone confirmed it ran" is exactly where data loss lives. Monitic closes that gap with backup monitoring software that watches every job across your NAS devices, Veeam servers and cloud backup vendors continuously, reduces each one to a single verdict — success, warning or failure — and alerts the right person the moment something needs attention.
To be precise about what this is: Monitic is not a backup product. It monitors the backup estate you already run. Keep Synology Hyper Backup, QNAP backup jobs, Veeam Backup & Replication and your cloud backup vendors exactly as they are. Monitic gives them one dashboard, one alerting policy and one place to answer the question every board eventually asks — is everything protected right now?
One backup posture dashboard across every vendor
Backup estates grow by accretion: a Synology in one office, a QNAP in another, Veeam on the virtualization cluster, a cloud vendor for the laptop fleet. Each ships its own console, its own notification emails and its own definition of a warning. Monitic's unified posture dashboard normalizes all of them into one view:
- Synology — Hyper Backup and Active Backup job status, tracked per job
- QNAP — backup job status from your QNAP appliances
- Veeam Backup & Replication — job status from your Veeam servers
- Cloud backup vendors — status pulled through direct API integrations
Every job carries a success, failure or warning state, so a green dashboard means verified green — not "no news."
Agent-collected backup monitoring, no new infrastructure
Where a Monitic agent is present, backup collection is simply switched on. The same agent that patches, monitors and inventories your fleet also collects NAS and Veeam job status from the local network, controlled per agent through a feature flag so you enable it exactly where you want it. There is no collector appliance to deploy, license or maintain. Cloud vendors are covered without any agent at all, through API integrations.
Three alert types that end silent backup failure
Silent failure is the defining risk of backup operations, so Monitic alerts on three distinct conditions:
- Job failed — a backup job completed with a failure state
- Job stale or missed — a job that should have run has not reported in
- Device unhealthy — the NAS holding your backups is degrading
The stale alert deserves emphasis. Most monitoring reacts only to explicit failures, but a job that quietly stops being scheduled fails just as completely — it fails invisibly. Monitic treats the absence of success as an incident.
Disk SMART and volume health under the backup
A verified backup on a dying disk is a false positive. Monitic reads disk SMART attributes and volume health from your NAS devices, so the device-unhealthy alert fires before the hardware does — while your recovery points are still recoverable. See disk health monitoring for detail.

Part of one platform, priced per endpoint
Backup monitoring is a Monitic platform capability, not another per-tool subscription. It shares a console with endpoint management, feeds reporting and analytics so backup posture lands in the same scheduled reports as patch compliance, and ties into asset inventory so every monitored device is a known, tracked asset. For managed service providers, this is the difference between checking backups client by client and seeing every client's backup estate in one multi-tenant console — see Monitic for MSPs. Backup monitoring is part of per-endpoint platform plans; see pricing and the backup monitoring documentation.
Frequently asked questions
Is Monitic a backup product?
No. Monitic does not create, store or restore backups. It monitors the health and outcomes of the backup products you already run — Synology, QNAP, Veeam Backup & Replication and cloud backup vendors — and turns their job results into unified dashboards and alerts.
How does Monitic collect backup job status?
For NAS devices and Veeam servers, collection runs through the Monitic agent already deployed on your fleet, controlled per agent by a feature flag. Cloud backup vendors are polled directly through API integrations, with no agent involved.
What alert types are available?
Three: job failed, job stale or missed, and device unhealthy. Together they cover explicit failures, silent scheduling gaps and the hardware degradation that threatens stored recovery points.
Can MSPs monitor backups across multiple clients?
Yes. Backup posture is visible per company in Monitic's multi-tenant console, so an MSP can verify every client's backup estate from a single view instead of logging into each client's vendor consoles.
