Report to list what's backed up for each client
We have Avamar 7.4.1 and DPA 6.5. I am trying to find a way to export a list of what is backed up for each client from either of those, probably DPA would be the best way. It seems like a coverage map should be a pretty standard thing (IE: coverage on each server), but I can;t find a standard template that has it or any way to get the data from one of the internal tables even. Even listing the plugin types used would be fine for each client, but that doesn't even seem available. Any ideas?

We are doing an audit basically to determine what is backed up for each client and if there are other things that need to be backed up that are not currently captured in that client's backup. So, what I am looking for is basically something like this:
client1
SQL Agent Backup
VMWare agent backup
Filesystem - Drive D:
client2
VMWare Backup
Client3
etc, etc.....
It doesn't even have to list the exact target. Just the agent that's used for that client's active backup is good enough, but it would be better to know what the main target is for each backup type. In other backup products this is called a coverage map. In other words, a way to determine current coverage and what should be covered. But I would be satisfied just knowing what backup types are configured for each client.
Sarin, the problem with the jobs reports are that I see Dataset names in them, but that doesn't really give any real information as to what's actually configured. Someone would have to manually link those dataset names to a target type or name. So, unless I can get around that, it isn't helpful to list he jobs.
