    You are seeing this error because you are trying to restore NDMP data to a non NDMP machine in your case the Windows media server... NDMP data cannot be restored to non-NDMP machines. It is even vendor specific. This means data backed up from a NetApp filer can only be restored back to a NetApp filer, EMC data can be restored only to EMC filer. This is how NDMP works and is not a limitation from NetBackup side but from NDMP Itself..

Thanks Amol,

Thought this might be the case (or something similar) after checking the Netbackup NDMP logs and saw it trying to connect to the master server on port 10000.

Successfully completed a restore back to the filer.
