    If you don't want to use NDMP to backup your device, then you have to turn off the NDMP option on your device.  This is mandatory.  You cannot have the NDMP option turned on on your device and backup the device using SMB.

    You don't have to uninstall the NDMP licence on BE.

Have you uninstalled the NDMP license if it is no longer needed, and looked at whether turning NDMP off on the Isilon is possible?

    Hello Craig,

    No i have not uninstalled the licence because it's a production server and i will still need the licence for some future restore. Should i both, unsinstall the licence and turn off NDMP on the Isilon to be able to create an user define "smb server " ? 

    Let's say for instance that i have an other BackupExec server which don't have the NDMP option installed, will i be able to add the user define "smb server" share if i don't turn off NDMP on isilon ? 

    I am asking this because i don't have a lab environment to tests this but i can "borrow" an other backup exec production server for a while...
