I don't worry about tying it to a specifcc save group, but I am
interested in what volumes have changed in the last day.  Here's an
example of a report I run daily:

-- CUT mmchange.sh --
#! /bin/sh

date=`date +%d`

cd /usr/dcs/backups/mmreport
/usr/sbin/mminfo -m -s YOURSERVER > new.txt
/usr/sbin/mmlocate -s YOURSERVER >> new.txt

diff orig.txt new.txt > diff.txt
result=$?

if [ $result -eq 0 ]; then
  rm new.txt
  rm diff.txt
  echo "$date report is the same" >> log.txt
  exit;
fi

echo "$date new info!  mailing mussulma" >> log.txt

echo "New mm info:" > mail.txt
echo "Diff is:" >> mail.txt
cat diff.txt >> mail.txt
echo >> mail.txt
cat new.txt >> mail.txt

cat mail.txt | mailx -s "[DCS-backups] media diff report" YOUREMAIL

mv orig.txt $date-orig.txt
mv new.txt orig.txt
rm diff.txt
-- CUT HERE --

Replacing the YOUR stuff with your environment.  The nice part about the
report is the diff at the top -- it quickly tells you what's changed
media-wise since the last time it was run.  It also includes the full
media report (2959 lines -- do I really have that many tapes?) and
location report in the email for reference.

It's also one way to see if restores were done, (which isn't logged too
well in Networker.)  With this script, you'll see the read and mounts
increase when a restore is triggered.

Not really what you asked for, but you might be able to tweak it to be
timed based, as others have mentioned here to limit to changes just in
the time that specific savegroup was running.
