Because the NDMP server is in charge of serializing the data, it has to
be the one to exclude files.  So this function depends on your NDMP server.

What's the NDMP machine?

I believe for Netapp you'll use

SET EXCLUDE=*.chkpnt

in the list.  See the NDMP admin guide page 37/38 for using SET in the
backup list (but not any vendor-specific examples of exluding).

See the OnTAP manuals for the syntax that is allowed when excluding
files (assuming you're using a netapp).
