Take a look at APTARE StorageConsole and the Backup Manager. Best NBU analytics product out there today, IMHO. The out-of-box reports are very extensive, custom reporting is also available. Very easy to set up and start collecting and reporting.

I have experience with various reporting tools. These include "WysDM", Backup Profiler by Solarwinds, and OpsCenter with Analytics. The info you want out of OpsCenter will require you to write your own SQL code to generate the report and format you want. Profiler does a great job and has a lot of canned reports. All the reporting tools use the same command sets to extract the info from the backup product and stores that info in a database for the end-user/admin to generate reports from. Even with the Advanced Analytics (the one you purchase to run with OpsCenter) has a lot to be desired about reporting and the info you need/want. We've had to write custom sql scripts to get the info and format we need out of OpsCenter. So far, the tool I like best for monitoring and reporting is the Solarwinds tool....Backup Profiler. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by dpe...@acxiom.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
