Specifying snapshot-based backups in an NDMP policy

To make sure that the backup is based on data that is transactionally consistent, the following statement should be the first entry in the NetBackup policy Backup Selections list:

set snapsure=yes

The Celerra Server creates a snapshot, and the backup is created from the snapshot. The snapshot is managed by the EMC Celerra, not by NetBackup.
