We use  the following command to report on backup exceptions.  The output of
the command is directed to an output file.

Q EV domain schedule EXCEPTIONSONLY=YES -
BEGIND=TODAY-1 ENDD=TODAY-1 F=D -
 >> 'out.file'

The output may look like this:

Policy Domain Name: STANDARD
     Schedule Name: FSDAILY
         Node Name: PS007
   Scheduled Start: 06/24/1996 17:30:00
      Actual Start:
         Completed:
            Status: Missed
            Result:

Policy Domain Name: STANDARD
     Schedule Name: FSDAILY
         Node Name: DC010
   Scheduled Start: 06/24/1996 17:30:00
      Actual Start: 06/24/1996 21:23:45
         Completed: 06/24/1996 22:10:26
            Status: Failed

We send the ouput as a note using Office Vision to our storage group.
