A summary of the steps are good, but please also download these 2 manuals for detailed info and troubleshooting:

NDMP Appliance Information: http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH31885

NetBackup for NDMP Administrator's Guide http://www.symantec.com/docs/DOC5164

The 1st doc contains a chapter for each manufacturer's device/filer.
Here you will see that different manufacturers need user credentials to be specified differently, for example, NetApp user must be root, EMC Celerra user must be ndmp, etc....
