That's all I ever found, but are your messages logs not still available? 
Note I'm speaking from a unix standpoint, where there are (in our 
environment) /nsr/logs/messages* - I don't know for a fact where or indeed 
if this log exists on Windows, though, since I've never administered a 
Windows Networker server.

If you still have the messages logs or the savegroup completion reports, 
it's in both of them. Of course, it's not as "queryable" as via mminfo and 
you'll have to devise a way to extract the info if you need lots of it.
