Hi folks

I would also recommend you compare Aptare with Bocada's BackupReport -
I'm a happy customer of the latter, it has saved my team a lot of
effort on reporting.

It's agentless, trivial to deploy and intuitive to use. Very
customisable, also provides a web-based portal for the sysadmins that
don't want to be full time backup/recovery specialists.
