Is it safe to assume that you mean when backing up over CIFS or NFS versus the Legato client pack for NetApp?
I haven't had my hands on a machine running Legato NetWorker for some time so I'm getting rusty. Anyway, as I recall, you can configure a pre- and post-job script within each client's "properties" dialog. You could use the script to issue rsh commands to the filer to do what you want. Another way to approach this might be to run a script on the NetWorker server. In the script you could issue rsh commands to the filer to take the snapshot then you could issue a manual backup via command line.
Don't know if you've seen this but perhaps the script in our white paper might give you some ideas. http://www.netapp.com/tech_library/3052.html#Sect5.2

Hello List,
how can I configure pre- and post processing scripts within Legato? Want to create a snapshot, backup it and delete it afterwards.
