Notification when serverless index backup failed?

Hi Team,

I can trigger a serverless index backup using the new backup API Create a backup of an index - Pinecone Docs. This API only initializes the backup, so even if this request succeeds, I cannot ensure that the backup can be created successfully, is it correct? Will Pinecone send us an alert if the backup has failed for some reason?

Hi @rhao,

No alerts are generated if the backup fails, but you can check its status periodically by listing the backups for a project or a specific index. If the backup failed, it will be marked with status: Failed.
