yes you can restore it , should not be an issue .
NetBackup 6.5 Hardware

Pages 214-215 seem to indicate LTO5's require 6.5.6 or later
and
NetBackup 7.x Hardware

Pages 162-163 seem to indicate LTO5's require 7.0.1 or later

Thanks Rahul
I saw that as per the hardware compactibility it will work. I wanted to know that any one has done this and what was the result.
If its there in compatibility list it has been tested and it should work as expected , if its not working then you may log support case for the issue.
