When we make reports and web pages we just get the information from the flat
files NBU gives us in /usr/openv/netbackup/db/jobs ,
/usr/openv/netbackup/db/jobs/done and in /usr/openv/netbackup/db/error on
each of our master servers.  For example, we have a cron job that kicks off
every few hours to build html pages for jobs based on the files in the above
directories, these pages are then accessible to our users through an
HTML/JavaScript front end on our intranet.  We dump (ftp) these files into a
central location, so that each master server and its clients are accessible
from the same front end.  So I guess we have done "something like this" but
not exactly what you want, I think.

As for Advanced Reporter, we also are curious about any advice.  This tool
has proved to be finicky for us.
