I would like HBS3 to support automatically running a Content Check immediately after a successful backup job.
Background
Currently, a Content Check can only be run manually or scheduled as a separate time-based task. It cannot be automatically started after a backup job completes.
HBS3 already allows backup jobs to be chained together (for example, starting one backup job after another finishes). It would be very useful if a Content Check could also be used as a post-job action.
Requested Feature
Please add an option such as:
Automatically run Content Check after successful backup
The workflow would become:
-
Backup completes successfully.
-
HBS3 automatically starts a Content Check.
-
If the Content Check passes:
-
Mark the job as Verified.
-
Send a success notification indicating both the backup and verification completed successfully.
-
-
If the Content Check fails:
-
Mark the job as requiring attention.
-
Send a failure notification.
-
Benefits
-
Eliminates the need to manually start a Content Check after every backup.
-
Allows users to start backup jobs before leaving work or going to bed and wake up to fully completed and verified backup jobs.
-
Makes backup verification part of the normal workflow instead of a separate manual task.
-
Ensures offline and air-gapped backups are verified before being disconnected and stored.
-
Reduces the need for custom scripts and manual workflows.
-
Provides a complete Backup → Verify → Notify workflow entirely within HBS3.
The backup job should not be considered fully complete until both the backup and the Content Check have completed successfully.
