Netapp NDMP Backup Exec job fails with errot E0008488 after installing SP4 for Backup Exec 12.5

Problem

Backups done with the Symantec Backup Exec NDMP Option fail with the below mentioned errors depending on whether the backup selections were made from the user defined selections or NDMP Server node. The backups fail only when the checkbox "Display progress indicators for backup jobs. This requires additional time to pre-scan devices." is checked under Backup Exec User Interface menu - Tools - Options – Preferences. Note that the selected data is backed up

Solution

Under the Backup Exec Graphical User Interface (GUI) - Tools - Options - Preferences, uncheck the checkbox "Display progress indicators for backup jobs. This requires additional time to pre-scan devices."
