I think a little clarification is needed.

LAN-free with the B/A client does Backup and Restore through the SAN.  Also
the API client can do backup/restore through the SAN.

I understand there is one TDP product for EMC using the timefinder function
that backs up LAN-free, but must restore over the LAN.  All other products
do not have this limitation.

I say again this limitation is on the TDP EMC/Oracle, and does not effect
LAN-free as a whole.
