    Here you go .. from the 7.6 licensing guide...

    Enterprise Disk Option has been discontinued in NetBackup 7.6. For customers using Standard licensing model, NetBackup Data Protection Optimization Option includes all of the features that were formerly available through Enterprise Disk Option, including Storage Life Cycle Policies, Media Server Load Balancing, Virtual Tape, and OpenStorage connectivity.

    So you are fine for the VTL drives
