Bareos (www.bareos.org) a full Open Source fork of Bacula seems to
support NDMP:
- https://github.com/bareos/bareos/blob/master/README.NDMP
- http://doc.bareos.org/master/html/bareos-manual-main-reference.html#x1-12800010.3

I think Bareos has already support to backup to a Gluster Volume.

From my understanding you are proposing a feature that integrates a
(async/changelog) NDMP-client in the Gluster xlator stack that writes to
a NDMP-server?
