Your omnibak command has helped me tremendously- However I would like to see the output for this command:omnidb -session $(date +%Y/%m/%d-1) -detail in a tabular format ( like the GUI version) so that I may parse out only the mount point and the bytes backed up. I tried using excel pivot command but the initial list has to already be in tabular format. Is there an additional switch the the output could be in tabular format? Do I need to use Sed, Awk or someother stream editor?
Thank You

Hello,

You can use the -html switch and then load the data on excel or treat it in bash.
hope it helps.
