Symptômes

The NetWorker server's daemon.raw has a large amount of error message during backup:

nsrmmd#44 NSR severe The local server was unable to get its own authentication credentials: Unable to find a credential for program 'nsrmmd', daemon ID 390104 and instance number 4405

Cause

There are a lot of nsrmmd processes running in NetWorker server with Data Domain DD Boost devices. Some of nsrmmd had timeout and could not be authenticated by NetWorker server.
