First off, thanks for all the great info on this site.  Very helpful!

Please forgive me, as I am a newbie with NDMP.  I understand that using the 
<nsrndmp_save -T dump> command will copy data from an NDMP device to an 
attached NDMP tape device.  

In my configuration, this is from a FC attached Celerra NAS to a Scalar 24 that 
is FC attached to my Windows 2003 backup server running Networker 7.4SP2.  NDMP 
backup to tape works wonderfully, it is lan-free and fast going over the FC 
network.

The piece I have a question about is NDMP backup to disk, in my case an MSA1000 
SAN that is directly attached to my backup server.  I would love to be able to 
backup my Celerra NAS to that MSA1000 lan-free as well, all over the FC 
network, but when I use the -M option to do this, my backups go over the 
Ethernet, not over FC.

Is this simply by design?  Does NDMP to non-NDMP only work via Ethernet, and 
there is no way to do this lan-free?  I just want to make sure I'm not missing 
something. 

Thanks in advance
