DDBoost is just deduplication plugin that works with EMC Data Domain, whereas NetBackup Accelerator is not equivalent to DDBoost. Accelerator uses not only deduplication technology of MSDP or OST but also other various technology like change tracking and synthetic backup, to improve backup performance.
Can it be used on a NAS ?
i presume you are talking about backup source, so impossible. As you know, Accelerator requires NetBackup client on source. NDMP can not work with Accelerator.
BTW, about use for backup destination, it is possible to use Accelerator with NAS that support OpenStorage(OST) and Optimized Sythetics with it. but not possible with standard NAS that does not support Optimized Synthetics.
