I agree. I don't know of any simple report that lists the information
you mention in that form.
I would assume you could deal with 'mminfo' dumps of a lot of
information (savetime, level, etc.) and parse it yourself with a script.
Otherwise, yeah, you'd be automating 'recover' or something, asking for
particular files and seeing what others are required.
