I guess that makes sense. it would have been nice to be able to look restore a snapshot directory from 4 months ago!
It looks like I could do a monthly snapshot manually and see how much space it takes up. Right now, my snapshots are only taking up 23% of the space allocated for snapshots. I am going to experiment with taking 6 "monthly snapshots"

Hi Jack,
The snapshot directory is not included as part of the NDMP dump. When the filer is told to do an NDMP dump, it actually takes a snapshot, then dumps the data from that snapshot.

I had a user request a file from 4 months ago. The tape backups happened at 11:00 PM but the file they needed was earlier in the day. I was thinking that the backups might have included the snapshot directory but it didn't? Is that configurable?
