Objet : [Networker] Networker reporting question

I've always found the Networker reporting to be kind of lame.  I receive
emails for my backups daily.  It's an extensive report; impressive detail,
except for simple things nobody would want to know such as:

How much total data got backed up in the job
How long it took.

If I am lucky enough to catch the job the same day it runs, I can get the
information nicely from looking at the group details but that info is gone
with the next job run.

I looked at all the canned reports and they all seem to show the size of the
job and how many files and save sets there were but not how long the job
took.

This all makes me miss backup exec where the jobs are stored for weeks and
any job report will tell you all you need to know, like how much and how
long.

Anyone agree?  Is there a better way to tell what's happening on my
Networker backups?  I'm probably not trying hard enough.

Thanks,

Pat
