After changing the Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP) port in the Windows services file on the Backup Exec Media Server or the backup target, the NDMP port change is not honored.
Details:
This problem can occur if the <Enter> key was not
used after the protocol statement to generate a new line character. The Windows
services file is read line by line. The end of a line is denoted by a new line
character. If this character is missing, it will skip all lines until a new line
character is encountered (Figure 1).

Once a
new line has been created, the remote agent will listen on the newly designated
port.
