Basic understanding of NBU for VMware is best explained in  NetBackup 7.5.0.x for VMware Administrator's Guide  http://www.symantec.com/docs/DOC5605

The intro section of the manual explains how NBU for VMware works, the requirements, and overview of configuration steps.

VMware with sharepoint start here (in same manual):

About the virtual machine backups that include database data 

Then go to this section in the manual:

Table 5-6 Application Protection options

as well as NetBackup for Microsoft SharePoint Server Administrator's Guide    

http://www.symantec.com/docs/DOC5174

See Chapter 7: Protecting SharePoint Server data with VMware backups

Please take your time and read through these manuals...
Ask again if something specific is unclear.
