Hello Joe,
If you are running ndmpd backups, you can look at 'ndmpd status' and if there are some all stale backups that appear to be wedged, you can then issue the ndmpd kill <session#> against them. The quickest way to resolve the below is to just schedule downtime and reboot the filer. The backup jobs that died poorly on the client side, which didn't let the filer know they were broken will then be cleared on the filer side as well. This type of problem caused by the client's backup job dying poorly is better handled in later version of OnTap.

Greetings, First time caller.
I have a 520 for which "snap list" returns several snapshot_for_backup (
busy ) lines. These are old and for some reason were not deleted automatically. I cannot delete them manually either.
I have tried setting "snap sched vol0 0 0 0" turned "vol options vol0 nosnap on" and was still unable to delete the snapshots.
Below is the output of snap list.
Any suggestions on how to get rid of the unwanted snapshots would be appreciated.
