Hi list,
 
Server - NetBackup 3.2 on HPUX 10.20 and Client - NetWork Appliance unit
with NetApp Release 5.3.2D4 OS.
 
I don't have the NDMP extension so I'm backing-up the system via NFS mounts
on my backup Server. I have an exclude list that excludes the /snapshot
directories.
 
The problem I have is that NetBackup seems to still traverse the /snapshot
directories, even though they are excluded, and as a consequence, during the
backup of the NetApp, /snapshot/hourly8 is deleted via the snapshot
management process, but Veritas is trying to backup this directory structure
and I get a stale NFS error (though I don't want to backup the /snapshot
directory anyway!)
 
TIME SERVER/CLIENT TEXT

01/24/02 09:51:58 sydbak sydbaka from client sydbaka: ERR - Cannot lstat64

/licups/.snapshot/hourly.8/updates/Thu17Jan2002/20021701085

/licups/.snapshot/hourly.8/updates/Thu17Jan2002/20021701085

849.cPARR01116. Errno = 70: Stale NFS file handle

At the moment I'm just ignoring these errors but I'm afraid that I may
inadvertently skip over a genuine error!

Any help  would be greatly appreciated.
