Although it is a more common practice to specify savesets by volumes and/or
qtrees, in which case the filer will create an backup-specific snapshot,
it's also possible to refer to specific snapshots. This can be useful if the
filer already takes snapshots at time just before the backup runs, and you
want to avoid the overhead of the snapshot creation/deletion.

You shouldn't specifiy the .snapshot. The snapshot is automatically taken
care of by the nsrnmp_save command.
Just have:

/vol/vol0
/vol/esxwinos
/vol/esxwindata

Etc....
