Hello,
I could not find documentation about it, but wanted to know if the NetBackup 7.5.0.6 version is compatible with VMware 6 update 1.
Thank you all for future responses.

No, not supported.
You need a mimimum of NetBackup v7.6.1.1 for VMware 6.0.
So, therefore you probably need higher than NetBackup v7.6.1.1 for VMware 6.0U1.
See:
DOCUMENTATION: Support for NetBackup 7.x in virtual environments:

I will see if I can find the exact minimum version that you need.

We need to tie the NetBackup version to the VDDK version and then check the VDDK release notes to see which versions of ESXi they support:
Here's a post with a partial table of NetBackup and VDDK versions, and a list of most of the recent VDDK release notes:
https://www.veritas.com/community/forums/limit-size-virtual-machine-while-backup-using-vadp
.
And a link to this doc:
How to Identify vStorage/vADP Environment Support?
http://www.veritas.com/docs/000010289
.
I will try to find some time to finish the table of versions.
In the meantime, you may have to research yourself these two questions:
1) For VMware vSphere 6.0U1 which versions of VDDK are supported?
2) For the discovered VDDK versions from question 1), then which versions of NetBackup carry at least this verison of VDDK?
HTH.

Thanks for you response!
Now I will update to 7.6.1, beacuse i have problem with the certificate on GUI in NetBackup 7.7.2.

I think you need a minimum of NetBackup v7.6.1.1...
...BUT...
...it is still not clear to me:
1) Is ESXi 6.0U1 even supported by any version of NetBackup at all?
2) *IF* ESXi 6.0U1 is supported, then by which version of NetBackup? i.e. is v7.6.1.1 of NetBackup enough? Or do you need to go higher?

My colleagues had update to ESXi is 6.0U1. Now I have 7.5.0.6 NetBackup version on production and backup not work with this ESXi version.
My company is constantly updated architeture, for what I wanted to put the latest version of NetBackup even if it is not necessarily the best.
