@Hrvoje - thanks I will use NMSAP, I am sorry I did not get anything after first point 'install package', all this while i was searching wrong add-on, as suggested by crazyrov i will go through installation and admin guide.
Give it a try... if you get stuck, let us know... but please use search too... I'm 100% sure I did explain this already once here with detailed step by step.
I think you were referring to below in your above post:
3. You have correctly linked the NMSAP RMAN management library/utility if you use the
BR*Tools RMAN feature on UNIX.
The EMC NetWorker Module for SAP with Oracle Installation Guide provides details.
4. The NMSAP backint executable is in the same directory as BR*Tools, or you have set
util_path=full path to directory containing backint in the BR*Tools initialization profile
initDBSID.sap with BR*Tools 7.10 or later.
You have set the owner of backint to root on UNIX.
5. You have set the uid bit for the backint program if you will restore to raw device files on
UNIX. You can set the uid bit for backint by typing the following command:
or maybe not ,
There are some queries which are coming to my mind now:
1) The Administrator Guide talks about NMSAP licensing, we are using capacity license so i think a separate license for NMSAP may not be required for us.
2) NMSAP with PowerSnap Module and without PowerSnap Module is confusing me. Which one should i go for? I have absolutely no idea.
While I continue to read documentations I also look for your ideas/comments.
And yes Hrvoje I did find some useful answers by you on similiar discussion:-

1. Capacity license supports all the modules, so you don't have to add any additional licenses.
2. I would suggest you to go with NMSAP without PowerSnap to keep things simple.
Thanks for all your help. It turned out that Database SAP here uses is MSSQL, so NMM or NMSQL backup would do. I do not have to do SAP backup with Oracle for now.

You must be going though the compatibility guide, installation guide and the admin guide first.

You don't need NMDA - you need NMSAP.
- Install package
- copy backint to DIR_LIBRARY and make sure it has correct permissions and ownership
- create CFG file along with user/pass inside
- create sap and utl files you will use

1) capacity license is covering all (except PowerSnap) modules - NMSAP included
2) PowerSnap is module to be used with EMC storage if you wish to have automated snapshot management on disk array
