Here is a quick and dirty to do what you want, plus it will give you a
count of all the media you have offsite:

vmquery -a -bx | tail +3 | grep offsite | sort +0 >/tmp/offsite.out
echo " ">>/tmp/offsite.out
echo " Total offsite media">>/tmp/offsite.out
vmquery -a -bx | tail +3 | grep offsite | wc -l >>/tmp/offsite.out

If you go to my web site http://gurski.com/netbackup.php I will be
posting a more elegant version which will include a formatted report. I
should have it up there by 11:00 am EDT on 11/04/2005. The script will
be called ebs_offsite (Enterprise Backup System)....

There are lots of other scripts there as well....
