I am interested in running serverless backups. Does Veritas have a serverless backup solution?

Yes. Offhost backup is an option (pay extra) available through "Advanced Client"

VERITAS NetBackup (tm) 6.0 Advanced Client Quick Start Guide for UNIX and Windows
http://support.veritas.com/docs/279290

In brief, Advanced Client features are the following:
Snapshot: a point-in-time disk version of the client?s data, for ?hot? backups. NetBackup backs up the data from the snapshot, not directly from the client?s data. Client operations can continue without interruption during the backup. Snapshots are the basis for the other features of Advanced Client.
FlashBackup: combines the speed of raw-partition backups with the ability to restore individual files from the raw partition or drive.
Instant Recovery: makes backups available for quick recovery from a snapshot. Instant Recovery provides three additional types of restore: block-level restore, file promotion, and point in time rollback.
Offhost backup: performs the backup processing on a separate backup agent, greatly reducing the impact on the client?s computing resources ordinarily caused by a local backup. The backup agent can be a data mover (NetBackup Media Server, Third-Party Copy Device, or Network Attached Storage) or an alternate client. Block level incremental backup (BLI): backs up only changed data blocks of Oracle and DB2 database files. Refer to the NetBackup Oracle or DB2 guide for more details.
