Something I noticed a while ago is if you set the NDMP version to 4 "ndmpd verion 4" on the filer, specifying saveset All works, which wasn't the case previously. I try to avoid using anything else than "All", since it requires the server/backup admin to keep track of file system changes on the client.

Yes, I also don't like to have specific save sets as well. In my case, I need to exclude /vol/luns (which has iSCSCI targets). As you may recall, excluding files with NDMP is not trivial as with .nsr files.
