NetBackup has no functionality that is aware of VMware Horizon View(VMware VDI).
However, as per VMware vSphere Desktop FAQs, vSphere Desktop has vStorage API for Data Protection support. So, I believe you can take backup of desktop virtual machines running on vSphere Desktop.

If you wonder, it is better to ask VMware and Symantec whether this configuration is supported.

To add to @Yasuhisa advice - Backup your gold VM master template regularly is the advice to give.
You must provide some other solution to probably backup the persistent disks of the desktops.
