Better Reporting in Operations Log

[akatsuyama]

I work for a company that has to do Sarbanes-Oxley Reporting and we need to have a less cumbersome method of outputting the Retrospect Operations Log. The Backup Report comes out as a parsed .UTX file that can be imported into Excel or a flat file database easily, however the Operations Log is a mess that is huge and not easily parsed into something usable. I would like to see the Operations Log have a format similar to the Backup Report in found in version 7.0.

 

I've owned the Windows version from version 5.0 and I've accumulated data on computers that are no longer on my backup clients list showing up on the Backup Report, as well as data from 2005 that should have been purged from my clients database. There should be a utility to clean up the database rather than as EMC Tech Support suggested, rebuild my client database from scratch.
