Hi @Dav1234 

I suspect that the two issues are related. It appears as though in the replacement of the NDMP system (NetApp), NetBackup may not have been updated correctly. This is showing in the failed verify commaand (tpautoconf) and the fact that the backup returns status 200. 

I'd suggest removing the NDMP host from NetBackup and re-adding,m or at a minimum, updating the NDMP host in the credentials section of the GUI. 

Was the original hostname re-used as part of the refresh?

Cheers
David
