[Veritas-bu] netapp snapshot backups

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1


If you are using NDMP for backups then yes, otherwise you would mount
the snapshot somewhere and back it up.  I think with NDMP backups, you
have the capabilities of creating the snapshot as part of the process, but
its been too long since I've looked at that part, I'd have to dig...

Thanks
