We do NDMP backups of snapmirror destination volumes every day. The NDMP job is able to create a snapshot in the destination volume for the backup.

I am snapmirroring several volumes to a DR site, and I would like to do tape backups at that site. How should I do them? Can I use NDMP?
It seems like I can't do straight NDMP because the replicated target is read-only. I am currently creating flexclones from snapshots existing in the volume (nightly.0...) but flexclone then locks this snapshot and snapmirror will fail to update ( I'm not sure if this happens at the next update or when the source system attempts to remove that snapshot and copy it over... I wasn't watching).
What do you generally do to get snapmirrored volume data to tape?
TIA,
Fred
