Feature Spotlight: Backup Health Score

The Bocada Team | October 14, 2025

Organizations today are under constant pressure to ensure their data is fully protected and recoverable. But getting a clear and comprehensive picture of overall backup efficacy can be difficult; there’s so much more to it than basic success/failure reporting.

That’s why Bocada Cloud has introduced the Backup Health Score, a simple yet powerful way to measure your overall data protection health.

Watch our 2-minute demo video or continue reading to learn more about the Backup Health Score.

 

What is the Backup Health Score?

The Backup Health Score is a 0–100% rating that reflects the overall effectiveness of your backup operations. Higher scores indicate stronger backup health, while lower scores highlight potential risks or gaps.

By continually measuring and blending multiple performance components across your backup infrastructure (learn more about the score components and their weightings), Bocada delivers a single, intuitive performance metric to help IT teams, executives, and managed backup customers understand just how well their data is being protected.

The Backup Health Score detailed report shows you the individual component scores that make up your Backup Health Score. These components include critical metrics such as backup success rates, the prevalence of daily and weekly backups, % of unprotected resources, and more.

The detailed report also provides a graph of Backup Health Score trends (over time) for all your organizations/customers, as well as detailed performance comparisons across your organizations. These detailed views can be useful for managed service providers (MSPs) looking to understand backup performance across multiple customer accounts.

 

Why Your Backup Health Score Matters

The Backup Health Score isn’t just another report—it’s a holistic view of your backup performance. While other monitoring tools simply regurgitate what your backup products already tell you, Bocada goes much further by consolidating, analyzing, and summarizing data across your entire backup environment – making it much easier to understand and act on.
