Hello,
Try turning on ndmp debug 70 on the filer and rerun the restore, you may 
have bad tape, are this physical or VTL tapes ? if physical, have you done 
recent cleaning or have any issue with connectively or errors on your 
systems.
Thanks

NDMP Restore error






Hi,
I was trying to recover files through NDMP restore from my recently 
configured NDMP Backup. We are using Networker 7.2 Build 172 on windows. I 
am getting an error while doing NDMP restore known as 

NDMP retrieval : child failed with  status of 5

I think its a problem with config. But there is no problem with NDMP 
backup because iam able to see the files which are backed up through 
Networker User
