NDMP backup fails with "Backup of non-local Volume...not supported"
Applies to
- Clustered Data ONTAP 8.2 - 9.x
- NDMP Node-Scope mode is enabled
- 7-Mode Transition Tool (7MTT)
Issue
- When attempting to perform a backup, the job fails before any data is transferred, reporting:
Operation terminated: Backup of non-local Volume '/vserver name/volume name/path' not supported (for /vserver name/volume name/path)
- The backup that is now failing may have worked in the past.
- Clients are still able to access the data via NAS protocols (NFS, CIFS,) but backup via NDMP protocol fails.
