I've never used -fast in any of my scripts.
.
There are essentially three output styles from bpdbjobs reporting...
.
1) Plain text report:
How to customize the output of NetBackup bpdbjobs command on both Windows Master and UNIX Master
https://support.symantec.com/en_US/article.TECH181810.html
..this is ok for simple lists, but not much use really.
.
2) Comma delimited -most_columns:
DOCUMENTATION: In NetBackup 6.x and 7.x, what does the output of "bpdbjobs -most_columns" mean?
https://support.symantec.com/en_US/article.TECH65123.html
...you'll find most scripts use this format.
.
3) Comma delimited -all_columns:
Symantec NetBackup 7.5 Commands Reference Guide
https://support.symantec.com/en_US/article.DOC5182.html
...see page 111 onwards...
...this format can be tricky to parse due the embedded lists and the use of comma themselves within some fields, but does contain the most information, but can generate largish files, and can contain very long records.
