NDMP Backups failing
Greetings,
We recently moved two of our NetApp filers to a new datacenter and now when I try to backup some of the larger volumes I am receiving the error NDMP backup failure(99). The detailed status shows the following lines.
12/15/2009 2:24:21 PM - Error ndmpagent(pid=3704) MOVER_HALTED unexpected reason = 3 (NDMP_MOVER_HALT_INTERNAL_ERROR)
12/15/2009 2:24:23 PM - Error ndmpagent(pid=3704) NDMP backup failed, path = /vol/epvol5/
I have ran successful backups from these two filers since the move. Also, I am not seeing any errors in the NetApp syslogs. Has anyone else ran into this problem or have any ideas?

- That does sound tape drive related... maybe try performing a large/long standard backup on that drive to see if any errors pop up? Is it SAN connected? If so you might want to check for errors on your fiber switch ports.
