    Hi all,

    First, thanks to so many for quick replies. Many mentioned the second quote
    did not match, which I corrected, but still had a problem using the
    following command to mount the fssnap and would get the following:

    # mount -F ufs -o ro /dev/fssnap/`fssnap -i -o snapnumber /` /fssnap ;
    Usage:
    mount [-v | -p]
    mount [-F FSType] [-V] [current_options] [-o specific_options]
            {special | mount_point}
    mount [-F FSType] [-V] [current_options] [-o specific_options]
            special mount_point
    mount -a [-F FSType ] [-V] [current_options] [-o specific_options]
            [mount_point ...]

    Many thanks to Bill R. Williams for the following:

    # Create fssnap on NFS partition
    fssnap -F ufs -o backing-store=/snap,unlink / ;
    /dev/fssnap/8
    #
    # Capture the device created by fssnap
    snap_dev=`fssnap -F ufs -o backing-store=/snap,unlink /`
    #
    # Mount fssnap to prepare for backup
    mount -F ufs -o ro $snap_dev /fssnap ;

    The above seemed to work well. Thanks again to so many folks, and have a
    good weekend!
