netbackup snapmirror
Is there a way to configure netbackup (with a flag or option?) to "delete" the snapmirror when the backup is done. See below

Just has a quick look in the NetBackup for NDMP:NAS Appliance Information manual
http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH31885
& it looks like there's another environment variable you can set:
SET type = smtape
SET SMTAPE_DELETE_SNAPSHOT = Y
/volume_to_back_upwhere: (for SET SMTAPE_DELETE_SNAPSHOT = Y)
"Use this variable if you want the snapshot to be deleted after the backup completes. A snapshot is taken of the volume before the backup is written to tape. Deleting the snapshot saves storage space."
