Catalog backup
Before the upgrade, a catalog backup should be created to provide a backup of the catalog in case of a failed upgrade.
NetBackup Catalog Check (NBCC) utility for NetBackup 10.0.
Before the upgrade, the catalog should be checked to make sure that it is free of any inconsistencies that may cause the upgrade to fail. If the NBCC results show any catalog inconsistencies, you must seek assistance from Veritas Enterprise Support for additional guidance.

Your current NetBackup catalog must be free of any inconsistencies that may prevent a successful upgrade.
Upgrade to NetBackup 10.0
