Does NetBackup require Java to run?
Does NetBackup require Java to run? Or is it straight on top of Windows? I guess the agents run directly on Linux or Windows too? Thx in advance

Just to all a little color.
The java runtime bits are required on the master.
The java runtime is required to run the BAR (backup and recover) GUI wherever you want to run that GUI. For exmaple, running BAR on a media server or on a client. The BAR GUI is a convenience item that allows users that have permission to do so, run the GUI locally on clients and media servers.
As others have said, the NetBAckup installers install and update the various java bits as needed. No need to manually manage these bits.
In future releases, we hope to reduce the need for the java bits and make the installation of them optional on media servers and clients. We will most likely publish a blog about this later this Summer. Stay tuned.
