There is no policy or catalog conversion.  However, the migration of the 
emm databases can have significant implications.  There are some steps 
you *MUST* run before you attempt the upgrade.  There is a document on 
the NetBackup support site.  You most definitely must read this.

The master has to be upgraded first.  Then the media servers.  Finally, 
the clients.  As long as your clients are current now, you should not 
have any client issues.  If you still have clients at 3.4, you will most 
likely have issues.

I do not know.

Restore from backups.  Do not upgrade to any release of 6.0 prior to MP4.
