Disaster Recovery - Backup Success Rate

Description

The percentage of systems that successfully complete backups within their defined Service Level Objectives (SLO), ensuring data integrity and availability, which is critical for minimizing downtime, protecting against data loss, and maintaining business continuity in the event of an incident.

How we measure it

Find all systems with backups configured and check the result of their most recent backup jobs. Systems are considered compliant if a backup completed successfully within the window their SLO requires.
