    Yes, CU7 is supported in NetBackup 8.1. If the CL includes CU8 from NetBackup 8.0, then it's supported in 8.1 as well.

    The hot fix mentioned for NetBackup 8.0 is included in 8.1. The hot-fix was due to a database schema change in Exchange 2016 CU5 last spring.

    There is one issue that we did not find and fix until after 8.1. We cannot reproduce it in-house, but some customers may find many occurrences of a diagnostic dump of some database tables in their log files. For one CU7 customer, this took so much time that GRT browse was unusable. It's fixed in 8.1.1. Refer to EEB 3935104 for NetBackup 8.0 and EEB 3938084 for NetBackup 8.1, "Multiple ExchDbProv: failed check dumps causing slow GRT Browse in nblbc".
