Hello,

The two are quite different from each other.

PowerSnap leverages the ability of intelligent disk arrays to make snapshots, 
and works on several types of Unix.  It is no longer a strong solution for 
Windows.

NMM leverages the Microsoft VSS framework for snapshots as its primary backup 
mechanism.  It can also take advantage of intelligent disk arrays if the array 
vendor has supplied a VSS Provider for the array.  NMM does make use of some 
PowerSnap technology to manage the snapshots within NetWorker, and setting up 
clients in NMC has similarities.

Thanks,
_Scott
