DPM by default included with default reporting on the product. Below are the reports available and most of the time is insufficient for reporting.

Hmm…then we are lucky to found out that System Center MVP, Steve Buchanan has released “DPM Backup Summary Report” and we decide to explore the report. Time to import the report into DPM Report Server and able to see the result of report.
