I'm curious what people are using to monitor their backups? I have Borg running on a cronjob, but checking logs periodically is getting tedious, so I'd like to automate that if possible

I just use ’’’borg list [mypath] | tail 1’’’ in my zshrc on my desktop to see the last backup date. I guess you could make it work on server if you mail that output to yourself or something similar. Maybe add it to your cronjob?
