You can use VCB for your base system and hardware assisted snapshots with alternate client for your RDM disks.
Unfortunately it will be two backups instead of one, so you have to think how to synchronize them. According to the latest compatibility list it should work

Have a look into this document Veritas NetBackup™ for VMware Administrator's Guide, version 6.5.4 Appendix A for further detail how to setup RDM backup with alternate client: exftpp.symantec.com/pub/support/products/NetBackup_Enterprise_Server/318357.pdf
