Getting detailed reporting from NBU when backup job completes/fails?

I've configured BLAT to run as the SMTP service on my NBU 7.6.0.1 server (running on Windows Sever 2012), but I'm not clear on where the configuration setting is to be able to get a complete report (data written, time of backup job, files skipped, etc.) emailed to me at the failure/completion of a job?

Also, where can I see what my copy throughput is on the current running job, so that I can try and identify if there are any throughput issues with my backups?

There is no such detailed report in NBU. 

The built-in email notification is a 'short and sweet' note to say that backup was successful or that is has failed along with the status code.

You may want to install the free version of OpsCenter for more reporting options and notification.

Where would I find the download for the free version of OpsCenter?

And can OpsCenter be loaded on the same server as NBU 7.6 for Windows?

Download from the same place as NBU: https://fileconnect.symantec.com/

You cannot install OpsCenter on the master as they each have Sybase databases.
Perfectly fine to install it in a VM.
