Get alert for first backup

We have netbackup 7.7.3 and have configured VMware intelligent policy. Is there any options to get alert if any VM will backedup first time from the policy or we can generate the report from opscenter?

    Hey

    I am unaware of such out of the box funcionality... But I think why you search for this... From now on (started using VIP) vmadmins can add clients any time... I sorted this out by checking mine VIP query on daily basis and writing its outcome to a file:

    nbdiscover -noxmloutput -includedonly "vmware:/?filter=DataCenter StartsWith '${i}' AND powerstate equal poweredon AND tag equal 'mytag'" |sort > ${WORKDIR}/${i}_${TODAY}.txt

    than I am comparing file from today with yesterday file and if there is a difference I am sending my self an emial - that something got changed....
