    There is absolutely nothing similar between the interface and management of BackupExec to NetBackup.  

    The questions you pose are much more complex than any one single answer can give you.  

    I would strongly recommend some sort of training with your purchase.  I would recommend you look at youtube or other sources of info to see the interface more.  I would also recommend you sign up for any weekly webex's or sales events that nbu will be shown as part of a sales pitch.  This way you can see how the presenter navigates around.

To protect MySQL
There are no option agent for MySQL. To protect MySQL, you have to write script that dumps DB data into file and backup it.
