The DMA is the Data Management Agent and is the code that performs
the actual NDMP backup e.g. connect to your storage and to your NetAPP
box and get them to perform a NDMP backup.

I hope this is a happy typo orlbacula ...

The above is the entry used by the DMA in the director to login into
the Bareos SD using the NDMP protocol.

Seems you didn't specify a protocol for the NDMP client. Take a good
look at the example you are at least missing the protocol.

#
# A NDMP Client.
#
Client {
  Name = <ndmp_data_server>-ndmp
  Address = ...
  Port = 10000
  Protocol = NDMPv4
  Auth Type = Clear                   # Clear == Clear Text, MD5 ==
Challenge protocol
  Username = "ndmp"                   # username of the NDMP user on the
DATA AGENT e.g. storage box being backuped.
  Password = "test"                   # password of the NDMP user on the
DATA AGENT e.g. storage box being backuped.
}

Its also better to test things before even trying to run a backup job.
e.g. a status client=ndmp-client-name will query the NDMP server via the
NDMP protocol and show you things like what filesystems it has etc. This
also verifies that you configured the things right. Same you can do a
status storage=ndmp-storage name and it will see that its a NDMP storage
and contact the storage via its paired storage entry which also verifies
if that is setup right.
