Currently DPA is not able to gather these failures however there is an enhancement request which is currently planned for inclusion in DPA 6.0 (due for release at the end of 2011) to be able to gather these failures.
Our temporary solution is to use the "Backup not run in past 24 hours" report to at least warn us. Since we have a lot of on-demand clients and we leave retired servers for a few months took this a step further and created a report that only runs against clients that have at least a single savegroup defined in their client entry.
Not ideal since you don't know why something failed, but at least draws attention to it via a consolidated report.

Hello,
