Kent,
I think you are still missing the point. Either backup by volume or by shares,
but not both. Normally there isn't a reason to specify a snapshot, the
nsrndmp_save will create it's own snapshot for the backup. You certainly don't
want to backup multiple snapshots.

I am now able to get backups of the shares. According to the NetApp
Admin, the snapshots are named by the defaults which means weekly.0,
weekly.1, nightly.0, nightly.1, etc. All I really want to backup is a
snapshot each time,
When I try to incorporate this into the saveset (such as
/vol/esxwinos/nightly.0) I get this set of errors now:
* pmurdenasp02:/vol/esxwinos/weekly.0 savegrp: suppressed 3
lines of output - check daemon.log for details.
* pmurdenasp02:/vol/esxwinos/weekly.0 nsrndmp_save: Performing
DAR Backup..

My backup command is currently: nsrndmp_save -T dump -M -P 192.168.0.150
My Application Info is (and the NDMP box is checked):

That's actually correct.
You are trying to mix volume backups with qtree/share backups. You
should do backups either way, but not both. All qtree/shares are within
volumes, so if you do a volume backup it will contain everything. The
reason to backup at the qtree level is for performance, so if saveset
ALL is fast enough, you are done.
You can verify that everything was backed up by running nwrecover with
some command line parameters.
Run:
> nwrecover -s <servername> -c <ndmp_clientname>

Yep, the NDMP checkbox is checked. I think my NetApp administrator has
missed something. If I change the Saveset to ALL, then I get a backup of
/vol/vol0 but none of the other shares that have supposedly been
defined.

I have a netapp config working ok with 7.3.3 and 7.3.4 servers ...
For /vol/v0l0 I use DSA backups, for the other volumes I backup to
SAN attached tape devices, so I have both configs on my system
working...
For the vol0 backup - the client record has:
Remote user: root
Remote password: **********
Backup command: nsrndmp_save -M -T dump
Application information: HIST=y, EXTRACT_ACL=y, DIRECT=y, UPDATE=y
Nmdp: Yes
Parallelism: 1
I've not seen it mentioned, have you ticked the ndmp checkbox.
