There may be a builtin report, but nsrinfo will give you a listing of 
files :

# mminfo -ar 'nsavetime' -q 'client=client_name' -t '24 hours ago'
 1265252205
# nsrinfo -t 1265252205 client_name
scanning client `client_name' for savetime 1265252205(Wed Feb 03 20:56:45 
2010) from the backup namespace
/var/adm/utmpx
/var/adm/wtmpx
/var/adm/messages
/var/adm/lastlog
/var/adm/messages.0
/var/adm/messages.1
/var/adm/messages.2
/var/adm/messages.3

...etc.

Not flashy, but does show what backed up. I wrote a wrapper script around 
it that makes it a bit easier to use (when I rarely need to use it).
