6.x Release Update Availability Document:
NetBackup Agents/Options are required to be at the same level as the NetBackup client and/or server packages.  For example, a UNIX client running Lotus Notes should be updated with the NetBackup 6.5.3 client package (NB_CLT_6.5.3.tar) and the 6.5.3 Lotus Notes update (NB_LOT_6.5.3.tar).  Occasionally, some Agents/Options are not updated with new code and are not distributed with a release update.  These situations require the Agent/Option to fall back to the latest patch available if it is not available for the current release update.  For example, a UNIX client running Oracle should be updated with the NetBackup 6.5.3 client package (NB_CLT_6.5.3.tar), but since there is no Oracle Agent update for 6.5.3, the 6.5.2 Oracle Agent update (NB_ORA_6.5.2.tar) is to be applied.  

The following TechNote indicates what packages are available for each 6.x Release Update to assist in determining the latest version available:
