" ... from my backup server to another backup server ..."

If i read this correctly, you want to 'move' a save set from a NW server/data 
zone to another one, not from one NDMP client to another one. This is possible 
with 'scanner -m'. As Jee pointed mentioned, 'scanner -i' will not work. As the 
NDMP protocol writes the data, the index information is not embedded in the 
save stream. That's why you have the 'N' flag which helps you to clearly 
identify NDMP backups.

NDMP backups work differently and they also have a lot of limitations - please 
see the Admin Guide for details. To avoid them in the future, you may want to 
consider NetWorker's DSA feature which is available with NW 7.3+.
