Running a snapshot differential backup with an HTTPS connection
When you run a snapshot differential backup, you can use the snapdiffhttps option to create a secure HTTPS connection between the backup-archive client and the NetApp filer.
Before you begin
Before you begin a snapshot differential backup over an HTTPS connection, ensure that you configured the client as described in Configuring NetApp and Tivoli Storage Manager for snapshot difference incremental backups.
This method is available only at the command-line interface.

an HTTPS connection, specify the incremental command
with the snapdiff and snapdiffhttps options
at the command-line interface. For

For example, on a Windows system
with a network share \\netapp1.example.com\vol1,
where netapp1.example.com is a filer, issue the following
command:
