Ok, so it is not possible to take an online snapshot backup of MS SQL and
Exchange. Good to know.

How about the LAN-free backup? Can you create a diskpool on the SAN so that
the backup of the clients (connected to the SAN as well) goes via the SAN
directly to the diskpool (and later by migration to the LTO tape pool). Can
you take concurrently a backup of multiple clients to the same SAN diskpool?

What TSM license are required to take a LAN-free backup?

Many thanks in advance,

Kurt
