    Ensure you have a full catalog backup prior to upgrade. If the upgrade to 7.6.0.1 fails you will need to reinstall netbackup 7.5, patch to 7.5.0.6 and run a catalog recovery. Its all in the netbackup troubleshooting guide.

    Please post anything interesting that happens! 

    I have almost the same setup, wish someone had posted about the tmpdir issue before I upgraded the last time.
