Issue

In some scenarios NDMP Incremental backups for a Flexgroup volume can take a lot of time to run the scan in the initial phases. This scan is to determine which files it needs to back up. If this scan phase does not complete before the DMA timeout limit is reached, then the backup fails with the error "NDMP Remote server reported a data transfer Inactivity timeout with file server"
