DPA does a lot more than generate reports. It also has an analysis engine
which can help detect failed backups and other issues within minutes of
when adverse events occur. I don't use DPA with NetWorker, but I do with
Avamar and it will let me know within a few minutes if a backup fails.
That's very handy.
