Hi,

You need to upgrade to 7.6.0.1 with EEB3318872 / 7.6.0.2

In addition to the info supplied by Riaan above, have a look at this blog comment that says 

Note that vSphere 5.5 will not be supported for NetBackup 7.5.

So, best to upgrade to 7.6.0.2.

Hi,

Just another suggestion:

It's recommended that you upgrade NBU to the latest version(7602), and try accelerator backup for VMware in your environment, from which you could get some benefits, the following link will help you know about VMware Acceleartor.

Hope helps.
