So anyway, enough with background, the question is, how come I don't hear anyone advocating using Netapp's snapshots as a backup strategy? Netapps don't lose data; it's not like WAFL or Netapp's RAID or any other bits are so bug-ridden that they don't do their job.
Whoever isn't using NDMP has to be using snapshots - we run budtool and didn't get the NDMP option, which means it's using the snapshots to backup.
I know what you mean, I haven't heard anyone else advocate it, but I presumed that was because it's considered the "Default" way of backing up.
