How do I catch a Carbonite device that has stopped backing up?
WebRun checks every device in Carbonite each morning for a completed backup in the last 3 days, and flags anything overdue. It schedules a same-day follow-up in Google Calendar and posts the stale device list to Microsoft Teams, sorted oldest first, so a quietly failing backup gets checked before it becomes a real data loss risk.
- Stale backups are caught within days, not during a data loss
- IT gets a same-day follow-up scheduled automatically
- The oldest, highest-risk devices are flagged first

Questions, answered
Will it try to fix the backup itself?
No. It only flags stale devices and schedules a follow-up. Diagnosing or fixing the backup is left to IT.
How long does a device have to be stale before it is flagged?
Three or more days without a completed backup. Anything over 7 days is marked high priority in the Teams list.
Does it create a new calendar event every day for the same device?
It creates one follow-up event per stale device per run, so a device that gets fixed drops off the list the next day.
