Hello..
We are recieving the below error message while trying to backup NDMP host. We 
have been backing up our SAN (Netapp) data using NDMP since an year. But this 
error is seen from past 3 days.

30/04/2010 18:02:30 - mounting T1W3FR
30/04/2010 18:03:07 - mounted; mount time: 00:00:37
30/04/2010 18:03:07 - positioning T1W3FR to file 1
30/04/2010 18:03:10 - positioned T1W3FR; position time: 00:00:03
30/04/2010 18:03:10 - begin writing
30/04/2010 18:04:27 - Error ndmpagent(pid=4260) connection 0xec58f8 
ndmp_message_process_one_failed, status = NDMP_XDR_DECODE_ERR       
30/04/2010 18:04:27 - Error ndmpagent(pid=4260) NDMP backup failed, path =

30/04/2010 18:04:56 - end writing; write time: 00:01:46
NDMP backup failure(99)

I also ran tpautoconf command and recieved the following output.
Connecting to host "san1" as user "svcSanBackup"...
Waiting for connect notification message...
Opening session--attempting with NDMP protocol version 4...

  host id "0118048715"

Host supports LOCAL backup/restore
Host supports 3-way backup/restore

Inquiry result is "ADIC    Scalar i500     520G520G.GS003         "

We recently enable SMB and signing on SAN. Would this cause any issues?
