The wording in the third bullet Rusty posted below isn't very clear. If you re-write the "or" statement as two different bullets, it reads:
* If you upgrade to NetBackup 7.5.0.7, your upgrade path is to a release in the NetBackup 7.6 maintenance line (triple-dot) available in the first half of calendar year 2014. * If you are currently running version 7.5.0.6 with Amazon S3 cloud storage buckets in regions other than US Standard, your upgrade path is to a release in the NetBackup 7.6 maintenance line (triple-dot) available in the first half of calendar year 2014. If you are running 7.5.0.7, your next upgrade opportunity will be 7.6.0.2. (disclaimer: I work for Symantec. I do not speak for the company. I could also be wrong about everything I wrote above.)

I had a word with my local SE and he has confirmed this limitation only affects installations which use AWS OST plug-ins outside of the US region. Everyone else can upgrade from 7.5.0.7 to 7.6.0.1, no worries.

But Mikhail is correct. From the technote: * If you are currently running NetBackup 7.5.0.5 or earlier, your upgrade path is to NetBackup 7.6 GA. * If you are currently running NetBackup 7.5.0.6 and you do not use Amazon S3 cloud storage buckets in regions other than US Standard, your upgrade path is to 7.6 GA. * If you upgrade to NetBackup 7.5.0.7 or you are currently running version 7.5.0.6 with Amazon S3 cloud storage buckets in regions other than US Standard, your upgrade path is to a release in the NetBackup 7.6 maintenance line (triple-dot) available in the first half of calendar year 2014. http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH210461 Good catch, Mikhail!

So, if anyone is planning upgrade to 7.6 soon - do not install 7.5.0.7 Best regards, Mikhail On 28/01/2014 8:35 am, "tsimerson" <nbu-fo...@backupcentral.com<mailto:nbu-fo...@backupcentral.com>> wrote: Finally able to get to Symantec web sites. The issue with the TIR pruning not working correctly is isolated to 7.5.0.6. There is a specific EEB that you can get to patch either NBU 7.5.0.6 or appliance version 2.5.3. The other solution is to patch up to NBU 7.5.0.7 or appliance version 2.5.4. Let this run for at least 24 hours for a normal image clean up process to complete.
