post the policy information, it appears you are using invalid arguments in your backup selection string
03-16-2012 09:01 AM
Please post the output of:
bppllist policyname -U
where policyname is the name of your NDMP policy
_VOLUME_ looks very wrong - would normally expect /vol0/ or similar

This error is coming from the NAS, not NBU:
(NDMP_ILLEGAL_ARGS_ERR)
Please verify that the backup selection is valid:
/__VOLUME__/noncriticaldata/
What make/model is your NAS filer?
NBU version?

Hi Yasuhisa,
I have tried that but still backup failing wwith same status and details.
Can u provide what exactly needs to be add in backup path and how.
eg. backup path is folder1.
03-21-2012 02:06 AM
Please confirm actual path on the NDMP filer. Work with your filer admins.
That is what you need to put in Backup Selection. You need to add the FULL path. Relative path such as folder1 will not work.
Also share the following info:
Make/model of your filer?
NBU version?

Thanks Marianne for giving this link,
this will make easy for me to solve issue.
03-21-2012 02:55 AM
Kindly elaborate more.
I have tried as per above path , but still backup has failing .
03-21-2012 02:58 AM
NBU Version :- 6.5.4
Filer Make :- NETAPP
Model :- FAS 3240.
Backup Path of cifs share.
03-21-2012 07:36 AM
If you can access the filer, or ask your filer admin get him to run:
# rsh filername vol status
where filername is the name of your filer - and show us the output - this will tell us what volume names it is using.
Also:
cifs shares
Should show all CIFS shares but not sure how in depth the result is
Ask your filer admin for a volume listing and ask him which volume noncriticaldata resides on

Hi All,
Many Many Thanks to All for this solution but i need some more clarification about NDMP backup.
I have already Setup exsiting NDMP backup and those backup are working fine on regular basis with the following Backup selection path in same environment.
"/__VOLUME__/volume-name" and this Volume on diffrent San Storage (HITACHI SAN STORAGE)
At this time we have Netapp, As per my knowlede for Netapp filer we mentioned /vol/volume-name but as per Environment configuration i had try this option to configure backup policy and issue had come.
I just want to know what is the diffrence between Netapp Storage and Other San Storage for backup path selection and other NDMP backup option's
Lot's of Thanks
Bharat
