It's almost certainly the result of a mistake with the options to an "awk" command. The file is what is created by awk when you use the "-d" option (dump variables).
What the user was trying to do, is another matter. They could have been intending to use cut rather than awk (i.e. cut -d,) to filter some output but typed awk instead, or use the -d option thinking it has the same meanaing with awk as it does for cut. etc.....
Definitely not worth worrying about (unless you want to educate your users) and not from NetBackup.

Agree with David, Stefanos and Jeff. Looks like a file created by a misbehaving script.
