It depends on your ONTAP version. I had to upgrade our 740 recently from 5.3.6r1 to 6.1.1r2 to allow me to delete these annoying snapshots. Everynow and again a snapshot_for_backup would not delete itself and under 5.3.6r1 the only solution was to reboot or upgrade the ONTAP.

I'm doing NDMP backups of my F760 Filers and I'm noticing an ever-increasing list of snapshots-for-backup accumulating. Do these go away automatically?
