We are curretly in the planning stages to upgrade to 7.0. My question is that if we upgrade to 7.0 and keep the clients at 6.5.3 are we still able to fully utilize the new features of 7.0?

it depends

what feature you are looking for.
let say for regular backup/restore of flat files nothing really changed since 6.x, but for some app/db related backup you can find a lot of improvements.

check the Release notes: http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/340098.htm

Thank you for the

Thank you for the information. I've reviewed the new features. I need to know if we don't upgrade the clients to 7.0 right away, will some of the new features not be available to us?

obviously

if feature A was implemented in version 7 of client, but not previous version, it won't be available without upgrade.
