Even if you are successful, Symantec does NOT support doing it. It's
messy and nasty and generally something to stay away from. You have to
weigh the pros and cons and decide if the risk of doing something that
is VERY unsupported is worth the effort. If you ever have a problem with
your environment and they find out you did that, all bets are off.

Netbackup has plenty of its own issues, why create more if you don't
have to?
