I'm imagining that vol0 is not snapmirrored.  :-]

You have to back up a snapshot rather than the volume itself on a
snapmirrored volume.  This is due to the fact that a snapmirrored volume
is read only and cannot therefore have a snapshot created against it.

You would need to backup something like the following:

=20

/vol/common/.snapshot/nightly.0

=20

This will work.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] NDMP backup fails on SnapMirrored Volumes

=20

Hi,  Can anyone backup Active SnapMirrored
destination volumes on a netapp filer?  =20

Configuration:
2 * NetApp F820 Filers with OnTap 6.1.3R2
W2000 SrvPk3 is Master server
NBU 4.5 MP2 on Master server

SnapMirror is in use to snap two volumes from Filer 1to Filer 2

Filer1
I can successfully backup all volumes on Filer1...
/vol/vol0/
/vol/common/
/vol/users/

Filer2:
Two out of three of the volume backups fail on Filer2.

The error is NDMP backup failure (99)  - suggesting that the file list
is not vaild!
The two volumes which fail are snapmirrored (active).=20
/vol/vol0/ is successful as is any extension of the file path, i.e
/vol/vol0/home/ .
My configured file list is valid and identical to Filer1.


Thanks for any help received.

Mark
