Hi Nora,
without knowledge of your specific backup implementation it will be hard for the Community members to say anything that would help you to get started. The question is too generic which might have lead to the situation that no response came so far. There could be different ways how you implemented your backup so it would not be an easy task to give a thorough advice.
Basically you would need to gather statistics from your backup job, this could be writing to a log file or archiving the log file for later reference if your backup solution should have implemented it already.
The automatic email you are referring to could be implemented into a cron job which you might use already. In case you use some other technique you would have to re-think on implementation.
As here are experts for Atlassian products around but the system administration questions are often very specific my best advise would be to read on backup basics, maybe preferred in boards dealing with system administration topics.
In case you could provide more details, especially what you tried so far and where your approaches might be failing someone from community is more likely to catch up.
Cheers,
Daniel
