    Is the command line output good enough for you?

    \netbackup\bin\admincmd\bppllist <policyname> -L 

    Quite readable to me...

    You can take a look at following post where Satish has come up with a policy parser which can be used to export policy inoformation in Excel format.

    I prefer bppllist with -U to get schedules in user-friendly format.

      Hello SymGuy-IT,

      I just tried to access the link provided and I got an:

      Access Denied

      If you are already logged in and still can't access the page, you don't have permission to view the page--contact the person that gave you the link to see if there is an error.

       Could you plz help on getting the policy parser?
       
      Kind regards,
