Are you asking about retries or about separate jobs for a multi-stream
policy in Netbackup 6?  

The first case is given by separate 'try' information in a line.  In
that situation, they're not separate jobs.

In the second case, you could look at the 'parentjob' field.  If it
differs from the jobid, then this job is a child.

See this page:
http://www.backupcentral.com/components/com_mambowiki/index.php/How_do_you_decipher_the_output_of_%22bpdbjobs_-report_-all_columns%22%3F

The number of tries are defined in a particular field, and then the
information about each try is written after that.
