Jason-
Short answer: no.
The SQL agent provides connectivity to the SQL
database, but does not change the fundamental
architecture of Netbackup nor how the data moves: you
still need a media server (of some flavor) to provide
the backup target- be it disk or tape.
This is apparently coming in 6.5 with the ability to
write to disk units only from SAN clients
