Supposedly there is talk about SSO and DAR for NDMP in NBU 5.0, but
don't hold your breath.  Both were only "talk" when I last heard.

NBU is the only major backup software that doesn't support either DDA
(dynamic drive allocation) or DAR for NDMP.  Legato, Workstation
Solutions, Bakbone, etc... all support one or both.
