How do I tell if a prior backup to an external drive was successful?

How do I tell if a prior backup to an external drive was successful?  The computer shut down as it was supposed to but I want to see "the backup was successful"?  I've never seen that.  Is there a history going back 3 backups to tell me it was not successful?  windows 10 

[Edit: Clarified subject]

Open your 360 product to the classic interface and double click on Security. Then click on History. In the drop down list at the top, scroll down to Backup. That will list all the backups you have made and will show whether or not they were successful. You can click on one of the backups listed there and click on More Options at the right of the window to see more detailed information about the backup.
