Confirm every live site still has a usable recent backup
Every Monday, WebRun signs into GreenGeeks, opens cPanel for each hosting account, checks how recent the last full backup is and whether the databases are included, compares disk usage against last week, drafts a heads-up email in Gmail for any account without a fresh backup, and posts the health board to Slack.

How do I check that every hosted site still has a recent backup?
Every Monday, WebRun signs into GreenGeeks, opens cPanel on each hosting account, and checks how recent the last full backup is, whether databases are included, and how disk usage has moved. It drafts a Gmail heads-up for failing accounts and posts the health board to Slack, so gaps surface before a restore is needed.
- A missing backup is found on a calm Monday, not during a restore
- Disk growth that has outrun the backup is caught early
- Every client heads-up is reviewed by a person before sending

How is each run configured?
Secure by default
Connect once, stays signed in
WebRun signs in once and keeps each session in a persistent environment, so every run picks up right where it left off.
Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it run or restore a backup itself?
No. WebRun reads backup dates and disk figures and reports them. Starting a backup, deleting an old one, or restoring a site stays a human action you take in cPanel.
Will it email my clients without me?
No. Each heads-up is left as a Gmail draft naming the domain and the backup date. You review the wording and press send, so no client hears from WebRun directly.
What counts as a failing account?
Any account whose newest full backup is older than the age you set, missing its databases, or where disk usage has grown past what the last backup covered. You choose the age threshold at setup.
