As Hrvoje Crvelin states, Data Domain is not an NDMP source, and hence, it densest have the ndmp daemon installed to work with NDMP backups.
You can do it with Isilon, VNX and so because they are NDMP devices.
The best solution for you is what you are doing right now, using another host to present those CIFS, or present them directly to the backup server, and then backup the files as usual backup.
DD is already a backup target... you use it as backup target and not as source. There is no ndmpd on DD so if you have CIFS share and you wish to backup that data elsewhere, then you must backup CIFS share either:
- by replicating the data to another DD - most likely this is not your scenario
- by doing backup of CIFS share to some other target like tape
DD is designed to be backup target so it is a bit strange to hear you use it as source/primary storage.
I assume you might be using it as a target for a SQL backup or Oracle data dump. You will have to take a backup of the CIFS to any of the windows clients that you have configured on the datazone. Its best if that windows machine is a Storage node(or the backup server itself) this will save you the network overhead.

Thanks Hrvoje,
I'll try to picture this in a different way.
You've been 100% helpful.

No, we're making evault backup .
I think we must consider Smartlock WORM directory:
http://www.emc.com/collateral/hardware/technical-documentation/h11094-ho-isilon-shareconfig-symantec-ev.pdf
“Since Symantec Enterprise Vault (EV) added SmartLock support for WORM data immutability to EV9.0.5 and EV10.0.4, we have released a Best Practices Guide, http://www.emc.com/collateral/white-papers/h12396-wp-isilon-file-archival-using-symantec.pdf. "
Until implementation is done We'll use a host to present those CIFS.
Thanks for responses.
