I think best approach will be to open a case with Symantec and ask them to provide you help in NBU upgrade. 7.0 to 7.5 is a minor upgrade and should not cause any problem - however, open a case and they will guide you through the process.
If you have liberty of second free disk in the backup server, then I would suggest to clone the original disk first before attempting upgrade. That will save lots of hassle if things dont go as planned.

redhat-upgrade-tool-cli
REDHAT-UPGRADE-TOOL(8) redhat-upgrade-tool User Manual REDHAT-UPGRADE-TOOL(8)
NAME
redhat-upgrade-tool - Red Hat Upgrade tool
SYNOPSIS
redhat-upgrade-tool [OPTIONS] SOURCE
DESCRIPTION
redhat-upgrade-tool is the Red Hat Upgrade tool.
The redhat-upgrade-tool client runs on the system to be upgraded. It determines what packages are needed for upgrade and gathers them from
the source(s) given. It also fetches and sets up the boot images needed to run the upgrade and sets up the system to perform the upgrade at
next boot.
The actual upgrade takes place when the system is rebooted, using the boot images set up by redhat-upgrade-tool. The upgrade initrd starts
the existing system (mostly) as normal, lets it mount all the local filesystems, then starts the upgrade.
When the upgrade finishes, it reboots the system into the newly-upgraded OS.
OPTIONS
Optional arguments
-h, --help
Show a help message and exit.
-v, --verbose
Print more info.
-d, --debug
Print lots of debugging info.
--debuglog DEBUGLOG
Write debugging output to the given file. Defaults to /var/log/redhat-upgrade-tool.log.
--reboot
Automatically reboot to start the upgrade when ready.
SOURCE
These options tell redhat-upgrade-tool where to look for the packages and boot images needed to run the upgrade. At least one of these
options is required.
--device [DEV]
Device or mountpoint of mounted install media. If DEV is omitted, redhat-upgrade-tool will scan all currently-mounted removable devices
(USB disks, optical media, etc.)
--iso ISO

Online repos matching VERSION (a number or "rawhide")
Multiple sources may be used, if desired.
Additional options for --network

Enable one or more repos (wildcards allowed).
--disablerepo REPOID
Disable one or more repos (wildcards allowed).
--addrepo REPOID=[@]URL
Add the repo at URL. Prefix URL with @ to indicate that the URL is a mirrorlist.
--instrepo REPOID
Get upgrader boot images from the repo named REPOID. The repo must contain a valid .treeinfo file which points to the location of
usable kernel and upgrade images.
Cleanup commands
--resetbootloader

--clean
Clean up everything written by redhat-upgrade-tool.

redhat-upgrade-tool --network 7.0 --instrepo <repo URL>
