Perhaps something that you can add in ideas / exchange and maybe, it can be looked at in the not so distant future.  In relevance to keeping a spread sheet out of the realm of DP, please note that you do have reporting options against the scheduling.

For example: omnirpt -report lookup_sch -schedule 7

This will generate a report against all scheduled jobs for the next 7 days, perhaps this report will help .

By cross checking this report with the avg time of backups, maybe you can tweak the scheduling to better suit your needs

Thanks

Not sure what DP version and which license type you are using?! If you have a Premium license then the Reporting Server is included and on top of what Sandro just said, also that can help you to get more insights into backup activity. It also provides performance and runtime information that can be used to finetune your schedules. And yes, it would also show you a consolidated view and you don’t need an Excel spreadsheet to do that.

We are also working on the Magellan BI and Reporting Integration. This will become better and get more reports in future versions.

I'm not aware of current plans, but I'm assuming AI may start to play a role in this area in the future. And as already explained by Sandro, any ideas are very welcome on Idea Exchange.

We have only Traditional licence of version 23.4. So we don`t have reporting server just legacy reports.I'll look into it and maybe we'll buy it.

I believe it can be purchased as traditional license too. If you would be interested I can refer you to someone who can help if you like.
