Hi

Snapdiff backups can only be done on the volume level. eg on Netapps we
have

/vol/volume_name/qtree_name

normally we export at the qtree level but in order to do snapdiff you
need to MOUNT it at the VOLUME level.

I also created a wiki which has some other snapdiff "features".

Hi

I am facing an issue with Snapdiff backup of NAS filers using TSM. I have added 
the shares in NAS and associated TSM schedules. The issue is with names I 
think. My Share name and Volume name are different. But if I am not wrong, 
Snapdiff is purely based on CIFS share name and not volume name. Is there any 
relation to that? Can anyone help me in this regard.

I am getting the following error.

05/28/2013 00:00:08 ANS2836E Incremental backup operation using snapshot 
difference is only available for full volumes. \\nasXX\YYYY is a partial volume 
or qtree.
05/28/2013 00:00:08 ANS5283E The operation was unsuccessful.

05/28/2013 00:00:08 ANS1512E Scheduled event <Schedule name>' failed.  Return 
code = 12.

where nasxx is NAS filer name and YYYY is share name.

Expecting suggestions.
