Status 1537 for NDMP backup

Sorry, not sure I understand what is failing:

The cluster node or the backup?
Or the duplication?

What version of cDOT?  What mode?  Clustered?

Which version of NetBackup?

Is your combination listed as supported here:

Sorry for the confusion

NDMP backup is failing  for the filer which is part of cDOT clsuter.

Status 1537(Backup policy and storage lifecycle policy have conflicting configurations)

It is NetApp Release 8.2.2D10 Cluster-Mode and Netbackup version is 7.6.0.3.

The HCL says:

"Data ONTAP v8.2 (7-Mode), Data ONTAP v8.2 (Cluster-Mode), Data ONTAP v8.3 (Clustered)"

...can I ask what is the difference bwteen "Cluster-Mode" and "Clustered", and which are you running?

.

Also, the HCL says:

"The NetApp Cluster Aware Backup (CAB) NDMP extension introduced in Data ONTAP 8.2 is not supported."

...is this relevant to you?

If the error is:  
Backup policy and storage lifecycle policy have conflicting configurations

Then please share policy and SLP config.
