In Windows XP, failed backups were logged in a way that I could view the event using the Event Viewer.
Is there a similar feature in Windows 7?

Are failed Windows 7 backups logged anywhere?

Yes, they are, in the Event Viewer. Look under Windows Logs > Application in the Event Viewer for events from Windows Backup and Restore. A failed backup will generally appear as an "Error" entry from "Windows Backup" source, and an event ID of 4106.

Windows Backup and Restore is troublesome. I suggest using instead a 3rd-party product. – harrymc – 2011-04-10T08:27:22.527
