Is your backup environment big with multiple backup masters?
If yes, then I'd recommend breaking down the report per master.

Also, you did not mention if your reporting is daily based only or if you are also doing weekly/monthly reporting as well as trend/history reporting.

For exec reports, you may not need to include all the backup client hostnames, but it'll be a good idea to include history/trend report so that the execs can see something like "oh, this week's backup success rate overall is 95%, much better than last week's 87%"

Also, if Aptare is capable of doing it, it will be nice to include rate of two/multiple days consecutive backup failures?

Finally, your division/department report may somehow show it, but the separate reports for mission-critical data and user-data will give them a good insight too.

Say, you prepare a separate report for your SAP / Oracle backup success/failure rates, and another report for the user desktop backup success/failure rate.

Then the execs will be happy to see the right data being protected for the company, rather than the backup of all the mp3 files and movies on users computers.

New servers addded to netbackup, servers removed from netbackup.

Thank you for your input!  I'm still very new to Aptare and my SQL querying skills are, shall we say, somewhat suspect. =)

The servers added/removed is particularly useful.
