You can run the check on the monitored server either in cron (Unix/Linux) or in the scheduler (Windows) and push the check result back to Nagios using nsca. Typically, I would edit the backup script itself if that's possible and have it push it's status back to Nagios using NSCA rather than scraping a log file for it.
