Hello,
As part of the upgrade ( you did not mention what version you are on now)
you can do a FULL backup and keep the bootstrap tape handy ( may be you
should also review DR guide).
Once you have done that, you can just run the rmp with appropriate
options for the upgrade, typically after the server is updated, you will
also update the NMC
( management console), let the server run trouble free for few days and
then you can update the clients ( chose update client during install).Your
backups will not be affected-depending on version of client instances you
have, ndmp should not change also.
Depending on your existing version, please go through the release doc for
7.3.3 and obtain before hand any new enablers\licences you need, otherwise
in 15 days there is potential that your server will be disabled.
HTH
