        From the Backup Server you can enter :-

        "dsmc q backup "*" -fromdate=xxx -nodename=xxx -password=xxx
        however how you get the info without the password...???

        You could try running an ADSM schedule which backups the clients
sched.log file, restoring it on to the server, then running an awk script
to scan for files backed up yesterday !!!
