This plugin parses the output of pgbackrest info --output json and checks if the backup archive contains a specific number of backups of a given type. E.g., between 1 and 2 full backups, 4 to 8 differential backups and at least 2 incremental backups.
It's also capable of doing ageing checks of backups. E.g., check if the newest incremental backup is not older than 3600 seconds.
