NetApp NDMP - only works on full

[irefayer]

Hi Guy’s

Having an issue with an NDMP backup of a NetApp device.

Running 7.5 SP1 and the NetApp is running version 4 NDMP.

A full backup works fine, performance is perfect, however when I try a level 1, 2, 3, 4, 5..... backup it won’t backup anything, it appears to see nothing to backup? I see the following notices /vol/zajnbh01_01 level=4, 0 KB 00:00:11 0 file

I have copied an extract of the demon log.

Any ideas?

You have to add the Parameter

UPDATE=yes

in the Application Informition Attribut of your Networker client object.
If you have added this parameter and the differential backup fails again check the netapps /etc directory for a file named dumpdates. If it is missing create an empty one.
