Snapmirror is really not worth if you are just doing a one time data migration. There should be a snapmirror migrate license. But if this guy is trying to setup a persistent mirror, then your right, snapmirror works splendidly for that.

There's always the possibility of getting a demo license of snapmirror.
I know it's not cheap, but this is exactly what it is designed to do and is well worth the $.

You can still ndmpcopy just a directory. Give it a path like /vol/root/etc will just copy the etc directory. Try /vol/root/.snapshot/hourly.0/etc/ that should work.

Ndmcopy is volume level, i need to copy a napshot. The vol is alive.
I mounted the snapshot and am using scp to copy it to dest filer.

ndmpcopy might work. It's filer to filer, and works fairly well, unless your problem is regarding a lot of files. It'll work well enough for a few thousand, but getting into several million it gets a bit nasty, but then any file based replication method for millions of files tends to suck.
It doesn't need a license, and is trival to setup and use on the filer console.

If you can take the data down for a single pass, then vol copy is
pretty
easy. If not, and you have a SnapMirror license, you could do your first
pass
while the data is being accessed, then do an incremental while it's down.
This assumes that you have the same volume type (trad/flex) on each
side.
If not, you'll have to use a more logical way of moving data like
ndmpcopy
or Qtree-based SnapMirror.

snapmirror is not an option,
thanx though,
