  • NDMP
  • Third-party backup application

Answer

  • No, it is not possible to set "Is Cleanup Pending?" to true by ONTAP CLI
  • If the backup application does not delete the context after each backup, the following error can be seen:
    • NDMP Server [SERVER] reported the following error: [Maximum number of backup contexts reached. Delete some of the unwanted restartable backup contexts and retry the operation.]
  • The restartable backups can be seen by the following command:
    • ::> vserver services ndmp restartable-backup show 
      • false: the context has not been deleted by the backup application
      • true: the context is in progress to be deleted by the backup application
  • The restartable backups can be deleted manually in ONTAP:
    • ::> vserver services ndmp restartable-backup delete -vserver <vserver-name> -context-id <ID>
