About terminating nbu_snap

NetBackup ordinarily removes snapshots after the Snapshot Client backup completes. However, as a result of some system failures, such as a system crash or abnormal backup termination, the snapshot may not have been removed.

Use the snapoff command to terminate an nbu_snap snapshot that the backup job did not terminate.

See snapoff command.

See About managing nbu_snap.
