I've never seen an nsr* tool capable of doing this. That's why I ended up 
adding a "deptree" utility to a tool suite sold by my company. It produces 
output (need to view in a fixed width font) along the lines of:

[root@nox ~]# deptree -c archon
archon

While the output isn't "beautiful", it does let you see them.

(NB: Not advertising - just pointing out that NetWorker doesn't display it.)

Cheers,
