Make available each Release Update of NetBackup binaries, agents etc as a new base install. Rather than the 2 step

1. GA install + options
2. Release Update + options

This will help when deploying Servers and Clients as new installations particularly in a large environment. Save time. Diskspace. Bandwidth. etc

This was recently available only for 64 bit Windows Server OS with NetBackup 6.5.4

Based on the size of recent Release Updates they seem the equivalent of a GA release
- Unix NB_CLT pack is nearly 1GB in size!

Or a patcher that would integrate the releases

Instead of making each one of them a new full-sized release, for those that do not have the bandwidth to download them in a reasonable amount of time, how about a patcher that would build a new install using the patched files?  All the notes and pack data would be included and let each customer build to their own unique requirements.
