# Backup Audit Watchdog
Since Jul 10, 2026: a system crontab watchdog checks daily whether the full backup is fresh.
## Pattern
A no_agent script runs at 2 AM UTC (1 hour after the scheduled daily full backup at 1 AM). It checks S3 for the latest backup archive and reports freshness.
## Script: `/root/.hermes/scripts/backup-audit-check.sh`
```bash
#!/bin/bash
# Checks S3 for latest full backup. Reports success if <36h old.
ENDPOINT="https://s3.us-east-1.wasabisys.com"
BUCKET="hermes-vps-backups"
PREFIX="hermes-full-backup"
source /opt/awscli-venv/bin/activate 2>/dev/null || true
latest=$(aws s3 ls "s3://$BUCKET/$PREFIX/" --endpoint-url "$ENDPOINT" 2>&1 | \
grep "\.tar\.gz$" | sort | tail -1)
if [ -z "$latest" ]; then
echo "🔴 No full backup archives found on S3!"
exit 1
fi
date_str=$(echo "$latest" | awk '{print $1}')
size_bytes=$(echo "$latest" | awk '{print $3}')
file_name=$(echo "$latest" | awk '{print $4}')
age_hours=$(( ( $(date +%s) - $(date -d "$date_str" +%s) ) / 3600 ))
if [ "$age_hours" -lt 36 ]; then
echo "✅ BACKUP OK — $file_name ($size_bytes bytes, ${age_hours}h ago)"
elif [ "$age_hours" -lt 60 ]; then
echo "⚠️ BACKUP WARNING — $age_hours hours old: $file_name"
else
echo "🔴 BACKUP STALE — $age_hours hours ago: $file_name"
fi
```
## System crontab
```
0 2 * * * /root/.hermes/scripts/backup-audit-check.sh 2>&1 | logger -t backup-audit
```
Output goes to syslog with `backup-audit` tag. View with:
```bash
journalctl -t backup-audit
```
