snapvaulted/snapmirrored volumes are treated no differently than any
other volume when using NDMP.  You specify qtrees in the include list.
 Snapshots are made on-the-fly.

However, I recommend creating an ndmp_start_path_notify script to
check for volumes that are still "Transferring" data and fail out to
re-queue the job if this is the case.  This will avoid backing up
yesterday's vault data.  Adjust your media server's retries per hour
accordingly.
