Veritas Netbackup problem for Oracle 11gR2

Problem:

After migration DB in Oracle 11g, we found out problem with backuping DB over Veritas Netbackup.
In Alert log we saw message likes this :
ORA-07445: exception encountered: core dump [strcpy()+16] [SIGSEGV] [ADDR:0x12][PC:0x3E16079190] [Address not mapped to object] []

On oracle metalink we found that:

The latest version of Netbackup is not compatible with 11gR2
we have client version 6.5.2 which was not supported for 11gR2
