Do you mean SMB 3.0 ? Netbackup does not use SMB for backup so there is no relationship and its not a requirement. Instead you can check the compatibility from OS point of view.

I dont think there would be anything new on this topic, from what I can see this feature has been around since 2012. If something was lacking in NetBackup then it would have popped up by now. I suspect if Windows supports it, Netbackup supports is. Same as with VMware and NFS.
Do see any issue? Why are you asking?

With this capability, Hyper-V can store virtual machine files, which includes configuration, virtual hard disk (VHD) files, and snapshots, on SMB file shares. Listed below are the main advantages of storing application data for Hyper-V on SMB file shares:

NetBackup does not support Hyper-V backup over SBM 3 shares. This is the case now with 7.6.1. I am asking if shortcoming is resolved on 7.7

Very shot and sad answer - no.
NBU 7.7 will not support SMB 3.0 on Hyper-V.
