You will get an alert if the backup fails. You can also check in Reports > Management > Backup Report. Within the Status column, you can see whether backups Failed or were a Success.
Backups that were not triggered would not be listed on the report despite the settings in Preferences > Server Backups.

Failed Backups

...

• Check the settings for the scheduled backups on the server under MacPractice Preferences > Server Backups. Make sure the Enabled checkbox is checked and that the file path is accurate.

• Re-toggle the Backup Path: Add another Backup Path exactly as it is and delete the original.

• Go to System Preferences > Energy Saver and check the following settings:

  • Make sure "Prevent computer from sleeping automatically when the display is off" is checked.

  • Uncheck "Put hard disks to sleep when possible".

  • Click the Schedule button and confirm the computer is not set to sleep or shut down at night.

• If you see errno 28, this usually indicates that the destination of your intended backup has a full hard drive. Freeing up some space or removing older/temporary backups will resolve this problem.

• If the backup path is a location on the Network, MacPractice support cannot assist with Network Backups. We cannot guarantee the stability of the network connection when writing a backup directly to a network location. You may try to write the backup to a local location. Once that backup is written, then transfer the backup over the network.
