      Have you checked the list of outstanding SLPs?

      nbstlutil stlilist -image_incomplete -U

      When you have above output, run this command for one of the incomplete images (from nbstlutil stlilist -image_incomplete output) :
      nbstlutil list -backupid <backupid> -U
      Look for 'Version number' in the output.

      If the version is different from 'version 26' (as per your SLP listing), you will need to modify that SLP version to match current parameters. See https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.100007040.html
