In the end my tarsnap backup scripts, I have this snippet of code. export TZ=UTC RECENT=$(tarsnap --list-archives -v | grep -v "\.part" \ | sed -nre "s/^.+\t([0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2} [0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2})$/\1/p" \ | sort | tail -n 1) [ -n "$RECENT" ] && date -d "$RECENT" +%s > /var/lib/tarsnap/status/time That way /var/lib/tarsnap/status/time always contains the unix time of that machine's last successful backup. In turn I use Nagios to pull that information, which is good because that way Nagios doesn't need access to the tarsnap key, nor having to way for tarsnap --list-archives complete each time. https://github.com/andreaso/tarsnap-helpers/blob/master/check_tarsnap // Andreas
