Snapshot Backups

We Need to take backup of a Volume containing 30 snapshots.

Please let us know that the backup selection entry should be in which format :

/vol/VolumeName

Or

/vol/VolumeName/.snapshot/SnapshotName

 

While selecting “/vol/VolumeName”, the backups are failing with status 99.

So do we need to select each of those 30 snapshots in the format “/vol/VolumeName/.snapshot/SnapshotName” in order to take the backup.

    Hi,

    /vol/volume can be used as a backup selection.

    else raise a case with vendor.

    Please supply all relevant info?

    Backup seems to be NDMP type, right?

    Which make/model NAS filer?

    You have selected NBU 7.6. Is that your NBU version?

    from Symantec NetBackup™ for NDMP Administrator's Guide

     

    Required backup selections options for an NDMP policy

    The backup selections list must specify directories from the perspective of the NDMP host.

    Two examples:

      /home/dir1/

      /vol1

    The following backup selections capabilities are NOT supported for an NDMP policy:

    ■ Wildcards in pathnames. For example, /home/* is an invalid entry.

    ■ Individual file names. Only directory or volume names are allowed.
