I think the key to the problem might be the line that says:

DstFiler: mei 25 09:51:02 [ndmpd:0]: Cannot run an incremental backup because the previous restore did not complete.

It looks like the level 0 might not have completed correctly. Do you have the logs from the level 0 dump?

Unfortunately,

all the three checks are ok. (6.1R1; no other dumps and jnmpcopy)

Things to check:

1. Make sure you are running 5.3.7R3 or later on both system to avoid

ndmp bugs.

2. After you run the "-level 0" are you running any other dumps? If so

it interferes with the information and may cause a failure.

3. The "-level i" only works with jnmpcopy.

**notice the space between the word level and the number or "i"
