We are using Networker 7.2.1 hosted on RedHat Linux.

Does anyone know a way to generate a report or summary of recovery 
operations that would include the time, date, file(s) (if a file 
recovery), saveset, backup client, recovery client, and volumes used for 
each of the recovery operations performed during some time period?  The 
idea here is to be able to provide an audit trail as to what specific 
backups were restored as part of our period tape restoration testing.  I 
can't seem to find this information in the logs or how to do this in the 
mminfo man page.  The read attribute (indicating the amount of data read 
from a volume) seems to be about the only clue, and it doesn't give me 
information about what was recovered. 

Can anyone provide pointers on how to get this information?  Perhaps I 
need to turn up debug levels during recoveries to get this information in 
the logs, then parse the logs?

Thanks,

Tom
