Apparently, the level 0 dump is post-dated, and I have this error : "Aborting the incremental dump of level (1) because the snapshot specified for this backup is older than the one used in the previous dump." 14/02/2016 22:36:37 - connecting 14/02/2016 22:36:37 - connected; connect time: 00:00:00 14/02/2016 22:36:38 - mounting CAD126 14/02/2016 22:38:15 - Info bptm(pid=17364) media id CAD126 mounted on drive index 2, drivepath nrst1a, drivename HP.ULTRIUM5-SCSI.002, copy 1 14/02/2016 22:38:15 - mounted; mount time: 00:01:37 14/02/2016 22:38:20 - Info ndmpagent(pid=18976) bstou103: SCSI: TAPE READ: short read for nrst1a 14/02/2016 22:38:21 - positioning CAD126 to file 44 14/02/2016 22:39:35 - Info ndmpagent(pid=18976) bstou103: DUMP: creating "/vol/volpoles/../snapshot_ for_backup.3112" snapshot. 14/02/2016 22:39:35 - positioned CAD126; position time: 00:01:14 14/02/2016 22:39:35 - begin writing 14/02/2016 22:39:37 - Info ndmpagent(pid=18976) bstou103: DUMP: Using subtree dump 14/02/2016 22:39:51 - Info ndmpagent(pid=18976) bstou103: DUMP: Date of this level 1 dump snapshot: Sun Feb 14 22:40:46 2016. 14/02/2016 22:39:52 - Info ndmpagent(pid=18976) bstou103: DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: Tue Jan 19 04:14:07 2038. 14/02/2016 22:39:52 - Error ndmpagent(pid=18976) bstou103: DUMP: Aborting the incremental dump of level (1) because the snapshot specified for this backup is older than the one used in the previous dump. 14/02/2016 22:39:52 - Error ndmpagent(pid=18976) bstou103: DUMP: Dump failed to initialize. 14/02/2016 22:39:53 - Error ndmpagent(pid=18976) bstou103: DUMP: DUMP IS ABORTED 14/02/2016 22:39:54 - Info ndmpagent(pid=18976) bstou103: DUMP: Deleting "/vol/volpoles/../snapshot_ for_backup.3112" snapshot. 14/02/2016 22:39:56 - Error ndmpagent(pid=18976) bstou103: DATA: Operation terminated: EVENT: INTERNAL ERROR (for /vol/volpoles/qtpoles/PRP/ SERIS) 14/02/2016 22:39:56 - Error ndmpagent(pid=18976) NDMP backup failed, path = /vol/volpoles/qtpoles/PRP/ SERIS 14/02/2016 22:39:57 - Error bptm(pid=17364) none of the NDMP backups for client bstou103 completed successfully 14/02/2016 22:40:23 - Info bptm(pid=17364) EXITING with status 99 <---------- 14/02/2016 22:40:24 - end writing; write time: 00:00:49 NDMP backup failure(99) Any idea ?

NDMP Accelerator for NetApp backups
Hi My current environment: Master on: RHEL 6 NBU 7.7.2 Mediaserver: RHEL6 NBU: 7.7.2 Netapp: 8.2.4 P2 7-Mode From NBU 7.7.1 Veritas has released the accelerator feature for NDMP backups. However, in the process of utilizing it, i am getting confused as to how i should get the full potential of this feature. Currently we are taking backup of Netapp vfilers through a NDMP type policy, without utilizing SLP`s. See attached the attributes section of the policy. My question is, considering the method we are utilizing currently, i should just check the Use Accelerator checkbox on the policy attribute to start utilizing the Accelerator feature. But is it the best way to perform an NDMP backup, and utilizing the Accelerator feature? Should i rather use an approach where SLP`s are involved? If yes, how and why will this be a better approach? We are also in the process of purchasing new storage solution, DD or Netbackup appliances.Solved2.4KViews0likes9CommentsNDMP Snapshots not Getting Deleted
