Here is an overview of the reporting capabilities of Backup Exec, including features that make Backup Administrator life easier in terms of creating reports.
Default Settings
There is a provision to create a default template that helps give a similar look and feel to the organization reports.
Click the Backup Exec button > select Configuration and Settings > select Backup Exec settings.
Backup Exec has numerous pre-configured standard reports that help administrators show detailed information about the system. These reports are strategically grouped into five categories: Configuration, Jobs, Media, Devices, and Alerts.

Report lists all Restore jobs that ran within the specified time range on selected servers. The jobs are grouped by the server and resource. Users just need to click on "Run" and a report will be generated.
Custom Reports
Custom Reports functionality helps to create reports that contain information to meet your organization's specific requirements.
Example: Report about Jobs displaying only specific fields and pie chart based on status.
Below are the steps to Create Custom Reports:
1. Reports tab > New Custom reports.
2. Fields Selection: 
4. Click ok. The custom report will be shown under "Custom" Tab.
