As per the Upgrade Portal https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.000115678 you can upgrade directly.

Extreamly important to read through the Upgrade Guide and Installation Guide as version 8 is the start of major changes in NBU.

As per the Upgrade Portal:

For system requirements, documentation, and compatibility information, please use the Installation and Upgrade checklist found on the SORT website before any upgrade:

  Thanks.
  I run SORT Instillation and Upgrate and get the following red X items.
  Tomcat Web Server user/group credentials The web server user account 'nbwebsvc' for NetBackup does not exist. If the account has not already been created by a different name, consult http://www.veritas.com/docs/000081350 for instructions to setup the account.
  I had already added nbwebsvc and nbwebgrp on the master server, so not sure where this error come from or how to fix it. Any help available?
  Thanks

Another "Tip" is to consider your BMR database (BMRDB).
In my experience it has proven to be a detriment to upgrade it for major releases. If there is no specific need to carry it over to the new version you would be better served in rebuilding it. After all, every backup will start seeding it again once you've upgraded your environment...
