I want to know if indeed a snapshot is created automatically and dump uses the snapshot instead of the actual share? Just need verification..Thank you.

sure : the netapp's dump works on a snapshot. it is being created automatically. Here is a sample * dumb * output I got : << nac1> dump 0uf /etc/forget /etc DUMP: creating "/vol/vol0/../snapshot_for_backup.1" snapshot. DUMP: Using subtree dump DUMP: Invalid tape drive in argument list DUMP: Dump failed to initialize. DUMP: DUMP IS ABORTED DUMP: Deleting "/vol/vol0/../snapshot_for_backup.1" snapshot.
You can see the snapshot being created and deleted.
