I think the question is too generic, but here is one possible answer:
To determine the software version by using the client interface: 1. Open the NetWorker client program: ¿ On Windows, open the NetWorker User program. ¿ On UNIX, open the nwrecover program. For information about opening these programs, see Chapter 1, ¿Overview.¿. 2. From the Help menu, select About NetWorker User. The NetWorker version number appears in the About dialog box. 3. Click OK to close the dialog box.
Determining the client software version by using nsradmin To determine the client version by using nsradmin: 1. At the command prompt, type: nsradmin -p nsrexecd 2. At the nsradmin command prompt, type: nsradmin> show NetWorker version nsradmin> print type: NSRLA The version of NetWorker software running on each client is displayed.
Also The following gives version and patch info (if supplied). The below shows for the NetWorker nsrd binary but can be used for all NetWorker binaries
¿ On UNIX: (to see actual binary installed) Solaris & AIX: # /usr/ccs/bin/what /usr/bin/nsrd ¿ Linux: # strings /usr/sbin/nsrd | grep "@(#)" (actual binary installed)
¿ On Windows: 1. Open Windows Explorer and locate the following NetWorker nsrd binary: 2. Right-click the file and select Properties. 3. In the Properties dialog box, select the Version tab to display the release and version information.
All recent versions list versions and its build in daemon.log. However that is based on nsrd daemon and obviously you can have other binaries patched. To inspect those you may use what as suggested earlier against bin directory binaries and obviously on Windows that will be a bit of pain with file properties (I believe sysinternals did a tool to give you that info from CLI).
In 7.4.x you can also have inventory of your landscape via NW and NW will keep track of versions installed (full builds, no patches AFAIK). Something similar can be achieved via CLI by using nsradmin command.

# /usr/ccs/bin/what /usr/sbin/nsrd (not /usr/bin)
