Error opening the image file image2
Backup Image failed activation.
Failed to activate Backup Image.
When i try to send .opr image to switch via xmodem if fails with crc error.
Kindly advice how to proceed further.
Edit - didn't catch the error message when you attempted loading the backup image.
The firmware image 8.0.3.49 has a .stk file extension, not .opr as you mentioned.
I always mess up what up and download means, one of these 2 options should allow you to send send/upload (from perspective of your computer) the .stk file to the switch. (I used Tera Term's File -> Transfer -> XMODEm -> Send...)
You might consider changing the baud rate in the boot menu (2) and on your terminal emulator since most older switches like yours defaulted to 9600 baud and uploading the firmware with the maximum speed is going to take significantly less time.
Below is the error message what i get when i enter option 12

Failed to activate Backup Image.When i try to transfer file using xmodem it fails.
But when i try to transfer file just normally (send file) i am able to transfer it.
I have gsm73xxs-6.2.0.6.opr file, can i transfer (send file) it without using xmodem.
You mentioned having a GSM7352s v1, that would indicate you need the firmware from here: https://www.netgear.com/support/product/GSM7352Sv1.aspx#download Your firmware version isn't shown there, even old version with 6.x show .stk files, please use one of the (if that is your switch model).
The days when people regularly used XMODEM file transfers are gone and so even I have to do some guessing. I have access to an M4100, but things might be different. I'd have to actively boot it into the boot menu.
What tool do you use when attempting XMODEM? Please post the output of the boot menu and what you did with your tool, including its output, that way there is a better chance of helping you :-)Firmware version 8.0.3.49 is the latest availble.
When i Power ON the switch, i see below erorr and later i go into Boot Menu
