A backup is considered LAN-FREE when the data does not pass through the LAN. If
data comes from internal SCSI disks and goes through the HBA straght to the
tapes, then no
data was transmitted on the network. For server-free backups, then you need
data on the SAN backed up to tapes on the SAN.

Then how is that considered LAN-free? If the data is not on the SAN
then how is it gonna be backed up "LAN-free"? It's just not possible.

This is incorrect. LAN FREE either the data from the SAN or not from
the SAN it will backup using LAN FREE or through the fiber.
Thanks,

If the data to be backed up is not on the SAN, it is my understanding
that the SAN agent will send it over the IP network (traditional
backup).

The tape drives have to be available via SAN to the Storage Agent
machine. The data to be backed up up does not.

Hi,
I am confused about Storage Agent use. To use it with SAN, do we have to
keep the data to be backuped on SAN storage or can it be local data ?
Regards,
