I know of a site that runs a copy of the dsmerror and dsmsched logs to a network share after each backup. Of course they appened the node name to the front of each one. They then have a script that looks at all the logs in that directory and produces some reports. I'm not sure how much better that is than the Operational repoerter but I thought I'd just let you know how I've seen it done.
Also, that one share is backed up by one client so they effectly have one node with every dsmsched and dsmerror log backed up that can be restored somewhere later if needed.

Among other things, you can not use a single client to restore all sched logs since, for example, a Windows client can not restore data backed up by NetWare or Unix. Your best bet might be to try to automate some process where the client's dsmsched.log and dsmerror.log files are emailed to you, or copied to a shared network disk. Perhaps you can set up some kind of POSTSCHEDULECMD processing to handle this. Other members of this list with far more practical experience than I might have other suggestions to offer.
