Get basic info from backups

Question

Hi, I have this problem that is so simple and still I can't find solution for it makes me feel stupid. Scenario: We have several NetWorkers which backups most of our client's hosts. Now I want to run a basic report that only shows number of backups, failed, missed, success rate on defined customers hosts. I have used this 'Comment' field to identify different customers host's from others. This is working well but from what datasource I can find this basic info? Report must have this info per host. And not to make this any easier, I need to to have this also from TSM. Luckily there is no need to sort results by customer, everything must be included from TSM. But this also must include all database-backups, which are shown as 'Jobs', not as normal backups. Br, Teemu

Same report is found with NetWorkers: Data Protection -> Save Sets -> Save Set Summary. This report has all the info we need but problem is that I can't run it agains certain hosts to get list with every hosts (or client as DPA knows them) info in separate row. I also have to fliter only certain hosts from our whole backup-environment dynamically, this is done:

Datasource: Backup Server mapping -> Conditions: Comment begins with XXX

Operator: Add field -> Include=Yes

Operator: Merge -> Condition: Include = Yes

Operator: Save set Rollup -> per client

This way DPA retunrs only rows that meets that first condition (customer XXX from comment field). But I need to have those Save Set Summary-info for these returned rows.

This is so basic stuff that I can imagine, but still can't get it work.
