>Hi All,
>How do backup only the snapshot directory of the Netapp using NDMP on
>Veritas Netbackup Datacenter 3.4.  
>I created a class and I added the following files to backup the .snapshot
>directory:
>/.snapshot/nightly.0/<directory_name>/
>Then I started a Manual backup. It mounted the tape, positioned it and it
>was hanging for about 10 minutes after when I killed the backup.
>Then I changed the filename to:
>/vol/vol0/.snapshot/nightly.0/<directory_name>/
>It did the same.  It hung and I killed the backup.
>However, my regular NDMP backups are working fine.  How do I make my
>.snapshot backups work.
>Any help suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
