You can't be part of the BCV unless you're synched so what you need to
do is not do an establish at the end.  

What we did here (before we got rid of our Symmetrix) was to manually
re-establish the mirror some period of time before the backup window
started and mount the disk on the right host.  At the completion of the
backup, we would leave it split.  That way it's available for restores
most of the day.  We did not use any special NetBackup tools - just raw
cron jobs that synced the volumes, put the databases into hotbackup
mode, split, and mounted the volumes.
