I am using Storage Profiler by Tek-Tools. Very sweet backup reporting tool,
as well as server monitoring. I just finished testing Bocada and didn't
like it at all.

Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Advanced Reporter vs. Command Central
We have looked at both Bocada and Aptare.
Aptare won hands down.
It has several advantages that made our choice much easier. Here were the
two main
1. Aptare allows user access to be controlled by policies. You can create a
user profile such that that
user can see only the clients of interest to that particular user.
2. Users can do restores (if privileges are granted)
3. The data is posted close to "real time"
When a backup or restore completes, the endbackup process on the master
server calls a script that sends
data to the portal immediately. You don't need to wait until the data is
collected from the master.
It has the capability to run many different types of reports.
In our case we are running it on a Linux system with an Oracle 9i database.
It has been running without problem since last October.
The price was slightly less
than Bocada

There are 2 other commercial products that you should consider if you're
looking at Advanced Reporter:
BackupReport from Bocada (http://www.bocada.com)
StorageConsole from Aptare (http://www.aptare.com)
I've started the evaluation for our purposes here and am running a demo
of BackupReport now. I haven't started the eval for StorageConsole yet.
The products take rather different approaches to try and accomplish the
same thing, for better and for worse. BackupReport also supports data
from multiple backup products, not just NetBackup. StorageConsole
appears to be NetBackup only.
If anybody out there has done a side-by-side comparison of the two, I'd
love to see the results and compare them with what I'm working with.
