    Look at it this way: 

    Windows Server 2016 was released on September 26, 2016.

    All NBU 6.x versions up to 6.5.x reached EOSL on October 3, 2012.
    So, there is no way that there can be a NetBackup 6.0 agent for W2016. 

    Windows 2016 is only supported as from NBU 7.7.1. 

    You really need to deploy a new NBU environment for newer OS versions.
    (I am aware of the fact that you have very old Unix servers that are no longer supported by OS vendors or Veritas and that you need to keep the old NBU installation.)

    Go for NBU 8.1.2 as version 7.7.x is already out of support. 
    If the newer servers are Windows only, consider Backup Exec.
