Here is a select statement that I use to get all of this info for the
last 24 hours:

select * from events where status!='Completed' and status!='Future' and
status!='Pending' and status!='Started' and scheduled_start >=
'2010-01-01' and scheduled_start >= current_timestamp - 24 hours

The only way to see status=Started jobs is if you perform a query while
they are under way: if you really wanted that, a cron job capture would
take care of it.  Running a query after all scheduled backups have
finished will report final status of Completed (or Missed or Failed),
which is probably what you get at 09:00.  And, of course, the Events
table does not contain information for backups which are independently
performed on the client.

Such event information is superficial, of course...  The client
administrator should be reviewing backup logs (and the dsmerror.log!)
for anomalies which may be delaying backups (e.g., retries) or be
causing individual files or whole file systems to not get backed up (as
in a Domain omission or forgotten, old Exclude).

currently run q event at 9AM which catches the missed & failed backups,
