(This is a crosspost from the Netting Out NetBackup blog)
I'm very pleased to announce that the next Release Updates for NetBackup 52x0 Appliances is now available!
NetBackup 5200/5220/5230 Appliances 2.5.4 is the equivalent Appliance patch release to NetBackup 7.5.0.7.
It is a cumulative release containing fixes and content from 7.5.0.1 through 7.5.0.6. In addition, this release contains almost 400 additional fixes (bringing the total fixes in 7.5.0.6 to well over 2000!) including the most commonly downloaded EEBs, several customer escalations, and internal engineering defects.
Information about 2.5.4 and download links are available here:

The 2.5.4 Update can only be applied to an Appliance already running at version 2.5 or above.
To check to see if your particular Etrack is resolved in 2.5.4 (NetBackup 7.5.0.7), please refer to both sets of Release Notes:

Some of the fixes and functionality that were introduced in NetBackup 7.5.0.7 are not present in the NetBackup 7.6 GA release. Similarly, some of the fixes and functionality introduced in the NetBackup Appliances 2.5.4 release will not be present in the NetBackup Appliances 2.6.0.1 release. Please review the recommended upgrade paths that are outlined in the following article to ensure that you do not lose any fixes or functionality when upgrading:
