need to backup ndmp type=snapmirror to container storage pool

Almost all (avout 95%) the netapp backup in Ben -Gurion unuversity, based on ndmp backup with type=snapm.
This is very large volume's, includ the volumes of exchange database's.
We do backup to evry volume once a month, all the month we have daily snapshots , so when we backup one a month with type=snapm we have backup of all the month because this backup includes the volume and it's snapshots.
Until now the storage pool was DataDomain that give to us dedup+compression.
Now when our Datadomaim become close to end of life, we desided to by new shelves to V5010 about 180Tb.
In order to backup to container stg.
I saw befor In the relese notes of spectrum protected 8.1.2 that new feature is:
"Back up a NAS file server to a directory-container storage pool."
So I was sure that I can move mt Nas backup to containers. when I build all the storage and resize tsm database and tried to move the backup to container I suprized that I cannot backup nsmp type=snapm to container. Now I have a lot of unusable storage because I cannot backup it to container stg.
