    I am battling to understand what exactly you are asking.

    NDMP access is between you and the NAS administrator - not the NAS vendor or Veritas.

    The NDMP user and password must be added before you configure and add NDMP devices and/or policies to NBU.

    The user name depends on the specific make of filer - some filers need root login, others ndmp user name.
    If NDMP admin does not want to share password, he/she can sit next to you and type in user name and paswword in tpconfig command.

    If the password is incorrect or changes after being added, then all backups/restores will fail.
    Correct password needs to be updated using tpconfig command.
