NetBackup 6.0 has the NetBackup Operations Manager, a free add-on that gives
you a web interface into the short-term data that management can use.

For really good reporting and long-term trending & analysis, look at a
product like Aptare's StorageConsole (http://www.aptare.com).  My management
loves it and instead of me being their personal report generator, they leave
me alone and go to our portal for the information. There are some
screenshots on Aptare's web site so you can see the kinds of things you can
get there.
