Take a look at APTARE StorageConsole and the Backup Manager. Best NBU
analytics product out there today, IMHO. The out-of-box reports are very
extensive, custom reporting is also available. Very easy to set up and
start collecting and reporting.

I have experience with various reporting tools. These include "WysDM",
Backup Profiler by Solarwinds, and OpsCenter with Analytics.

The info you want out of OpsCenter will require you to write your own SQL
code to generate the report and format you want. Profiler does a great job
and has a lot of canned reports. All the reporting tools use the same
command sets to extract the info from the backup product and stores that
info in a database for the end-user/admin to generate reports from. Even
with the Advanced Analytics (the one you purchase to run with OpsCenter)
has a lot to be desired about reporting and the info you need/want. We've
had to write custom sql scripts to get the info and format we need out of
OpsCenter.

So far, the tool I like best for monitoring and reporting is the Solarwinds
tool....Backup Profiler.
