Hi Jeff,

I'm curious, what are the issues that stop you from using ndmpcopy?

I would imagine the most efficient method is to use snapmirror. However, if you have the problem I do which is wanting to copy specific data from one volume to another you use something like ndmpcopy. My particular case is special and ndmpcopy doesn't work for me either due to filesystem fragmentation so rsync is my only option.
