Wow that looks neat, so i did a bit of research. I
couldn't find much on the symantec site but i did find this:
http://www.dns.at/dnsat/unternehmen/promotions/447a6170c5fabb4a9bf068f6143dd41d.0.0/Veritas_NetBackup_6_5_Clients___Agents_-_Factsheet.pdf
"SAN Client—The SAN client offloads backup traffic
from
the LAN and allows for fast backups over the SAN at
approximately 150MB/sec. The SAN client can send data
to a variety of our new disk options and allows you
to
back up and restore to disk over the SAN. Data is
sent to
media servers via SCSI commands over the SAN rather
than TCP/IP over the LAN to optimize performance.
SAN
Clients are supported on all major platforms."
So the SAN client seems to be part of the Enterprise
Client.
My question is, can the Enterprise(SAN) client be
used with a Database client. I'd imagine that it can.
