 ## Restoring a backup
 
 To restore a backup, follow the steps described in [Restoring a backup](/common-tasks/general/#restoring-a-backup).
 
+## Event entity
+
+The **Backup** {% term integration %} provides an {% term "Event entity" %} which represents the state of the last automatic backup (_completed, in progress, failed_). It also provides several event attributes which can be used in automations.
+
+| Attribute | Description |
+| --- | --- |
+| `event_type` | The translated state of the last automatic backup task (_possible states: completed, in progress, failed_)
+| `backup_stage` | The current automatic backup stage (_is `None` when `event_type` is not in progress_) |
+| `failed_reason` | The reason for a failed automatic backup (_is `None` when `event_type` is completed or in progress_) |
+
+### Usage examples
+
+Send notification to mobile app, when an automatic backup failed.
+
+{% raw %}
+
+```yaml
+alias: Backup failed
+triggers:
+  - trigger: state
+    entity_id:
+      - event.backup_automatic_backup
+conditions:
+  - condition: state
+    entity_id: event.backup_automatic_backup
+    attribute: event_type
+    state: failed
+actions:

+    action: notify.mobile-app
+mode: single
