Data Disaster Recovery integrates with CloudMonitor to let you configure event-triggered alert rules for backup and restore operations. When a monitored event occurs, CloudMonitor sends a notification so you can respond immediately.
The system event-triggered alert rule feature used in this topic is the old version and will be phased out. After setting up the default alert rule, migrate to the new event subscription feature. For instructions, see Create a subscription policy.

Data Disaster Recovery monitors the following events:
| Job type | Monitored events |

| Full backup | Backup error |

| Data restore | Restore error; restore succeeds |
