These products are now referred to as Data Protection Management products. There are several in this space and we maintain a list of them on Backup Central. In alphabetical order, they are Aptare Inc.'s Storage Console, Bocada Inc's Enterprise, EMC Corp.'s Data Protection Advisor, Rocket Software Inc.'s Servergraph. Symantec Corp.'s Veritas Backup Reporter, Tek-Tools Software's Storage Profiler and TSMworks Inc.
