a method of reporting/data collection from various backup applications.
The following whitepaper gives a broad overview of both VBR and NetBackup Operations Manager (NOM)

I also managed to find an Admin Guide for VBR6.5 (last release was 6.6?)

Both NOM and VBR have been replaced from NB7 with Symantec OpsCentre/OpsCentre Analytics.
There is actually a separate forum for
OpsCentre Analytics (Backup Reporter) but they don't seem to get much trade
