Did you take out the .snapshot from the savesets?

This is getting more & more annoying and frustrating. Whenever I include
the -M argument, I get the following errors back:

        avegrp: suppressed 3 lines of verbose output
        nsrndmp_save: Performing DAR Backup..
        nsrdsa_save: READY:(host, ipaddr, port) = (192.168.0.150,
192.168.0.150, 9095)
        nsrndmp_save: Host = 192.168.0.150 (192.168.0.150) port = 9095
        nsrndmp_save: data start backup: illegal arguments in request
        nsrndmp_save: Unable to start the NDMP backup process.
        nsrndmp_save: Data server halted: The backup is aborted by
operator.
        nsrndmp_save: NDMP Service Log: Aborted by client
        nsrndmp_save: Save session closed with NW server successfully 

Is there a piece I need to install or license to use DSA? Should I just
take a fire axe to the whole thing and tell the bosses to put everything
on paper?

We use the -P to specify the exact interface to use since both the
NetApp and backup server have multiple NICS (we have a dedicated backup
network with jumbo frames turned on). The -P isn't just used for
proxies, it also can be used to specify the IP address of the server
that you want to use. You need to be using the "-M" for DSA (network
based backups of NDMP).

>From the manpage:


   -M   An NDMP client will be backed up to a NetWorker storage
          node  by  the nsrdsa_save program. This option provides
          most of the NetWorker storage node  features,  such  as
          backup  to  disk, multiplexing, automedia verification,
          and   staging.   The   nsrndmp_save   program    spawns
          nsrdsa_save locally.  A NetWorker storage node hostname
          should be listed in the "storage  nodes"  attribute  of
          server's client-name resource.
          Notes:
          Save sets  that  are  backed  up  by  nsrndmp_save  via
          nsrdsa_save  will  be treated as regular NetWorker save
          set and will have save set flags as 'N'  and  's'.  'N'
          indicates  NDMP  client  and 's' indicates backed up to
          NetWorker  storage  node.  See  mminfo  (1m)  for  more
          details.

According to EMC's whitepaper (yeah, I know....) the -P is required
since the library isn't attached to the NetApp filers 

What is -M for?

   You are missing the -M option. Also, why use a proxy host ?

   I am quite sure you are not supposed to backup snapshots (the dump 
itself uses snapshots).
