Correction!

Seems NBU 7.7 went GA yesterday - July 7, 2015:

I hope that we will receive our upgrade notification any day now...

I guess it was NetBackup 7/7!  :)

I'm also surprised we didn't have an official announcement here on Connect (that I can find), but this link was tweeted out this morning:

http://veritas.symantec.com/launch/

...which includes this marketing page on NB7.7...

http://veritas.symantec.com/backup/nbu/

So the Veritas thing is getting closer...

Also, the 7.7 LBN is live at TECH230230

I need to update my signature!

Thanks for the confirmation Chris! I could only find Compatibility Guides and manuals earlier today. We have not yet received upgrade notification ( which is normally fairly quick ) so, I started to doubt if it was really released... ;)

1) Yes, it's built in.

2) It's probably true that no one can give you a step-by-step process for your environment, because each environment is different.  However, these may help you with NetBackup AIR:
