I nfs mount the NAS box from my Solaris NBU box at the appropriate 
directory. In
our case /u and /proj. Then I run Hal Skelly's nbusplit script from cron 
about an hour
before NDMP (spit) runs and have it redirect the output to 
/usr/openv/netbackup/db/class/<ndmppolicy>/includes.
That way if NDMP ever finishes I haven't missed too much.
