Not really.  Performing a Select on the Backups table is the closest thing, but 
that can be onerous, and can't return the same info (in particular, the size of 
small files cannot be gotten).  File queries should be done from the client, 
which is designed to do that.  You can use Virtualnodename from a computer of 
the same platform type to perform the dsmc query from a different site, if you 
know the subject client node password.
