We used Acronis and it was a nightmare as was their off-shored support
model. Never again... Wouldn't touch them with a 10 foot pole.
Switched to Iron Mountain LiveVault which backs everything up over the
wire. It has basic reporting functions but not extremely granular.

Barracuda also seems to have a nice product. Though, i've never used it:
