About disabling snapshots

This section explains how to turn off the creation of snapshots for certain clients but to continue making non-snapshot backups of those clients.

Two different products in NetBackup perform snapshots: Snapshot Client (described in this guide) and Windows Open File Backups (described in the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume I). These products operate independently of each other. Disabling one does not disable the other.

See Disabling Open File Backups on Windows.
