LT backup Health Checkup
Summary

Process
This script detects whether the LT backup ran successfully by checking the backup's last execution date (not older than 2 days) and the current file size (not smaller than 99 MB). If any of these conditions are met, it will send an email to Alerts@provaltech.com to create a high-priority ticket in our AutoTask.
