    Lots of new features in 7.0. Highlights in Release Announcement http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH75944

    Details in Release Notes: http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH127085

    More useful info on the Upgrade Portal  http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH74584 such as:

    6.  With NetBackup 7.X, all Unix/Linux 32-bit support has been discontinued. To upgrade these systems to NetBackup 7.X, you must first migrate your current NetBackup  6.x catalog and  
    database to a 64-bit system with a supported platform. 32-bit Media servers that runs NetBackup 6.x are compatible with 64-bit Master servers that run NetBackup 7.X.

     

    Differences as far as compatibility is concerned for different platforms, hardware, databases, etc. can be found in the MASTER Compatibility list: http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH59978

    Unix 32 bit support has gone - clients must be 64 bit to use NBU7.1

    vSphere backups implemented - possibly one of the most useful additions (and HyperV)

    NetBackup De-Duplication option now avaiable - really easy to use on a Standard NetBackup system (biggest feature)

    Bare Metal Restore integrated and at no cost

    NetBackup Realtime added for replication of data

    NetBackup OpsCenter included at no cost

    Support for Windows 2008 R2, Exchange 2010, Oracle Cloning

    New licensing models - ESX based / Capacity based

    AIR is introduced in the latest level to allow cross NetBackup Domain duplications

    Hope this helps
