To Configure NDMP Snapshot Options
1.
From the
Home
page, click
Data Protection
.
2.
Click
Backup Snapshot Options.
3.
In the
Automated Snapshot Use
section, select whether NDMP should automatically
create a snapshot to be backed up. This selection only affects backups or adc copies
where the path refers to the live file system. If the backup path already specifies a
snapshot or the backup is using a snapshot rule then this option has no effect. The
choices are:
❑
Automatically Create Snapshots. This is the recommended choice. A backup of a
path referring to the live file system will cause a snapshot to be taken for use in
the backup.
❑
Do not automatically Create Snapshots. Backups of live file system will use the
live file system directly. If this option is selected, skip Step 4 and click Apply.
Note:
If a backup path explicitly contains a snapshot reference then the
system does not take a new snapshot, regardless of this setting.
