Yes, but it will take a bit of work on your part: NIM is basically a system management platform and full backups (opposed to system images) are not in the center of its scope.
There is a command
savevg, which does essentially the same as
mksysb, but without the boot loader and the possibility to install a system from it. In fact
mksysb is a
savevg rootvg with some additional logic so that you can boot a system from it and install it.
You can write a NIM resource of the type "script", which lists the volume groups in a system (filter out rootvg and similarly uninteresting ones) and then run a
savevg $vg on each of them, sending the files to the NIM server. Now you can call this script from either the NIM master or the client using NIM methods.
I hope this helps.
