Just to add to this, the 2 SAN Media Server are backing up Windows Servers
and a HUGE variety of file sizes, large, small, all compressed data too
(compressed on the disk).

Compared to our old backup window of 45 hours, this is better, but amazed
your getting that speed over LAN, unless the files are large in size (DB
size perhaps)

Subject: [Veritas-bu] SAN backups


Now this is the time we need to do something for our backups as the time to
take the backup of 2TB is about 12 hours as its over the LAN and I am
interested to shift it over the SAN bakcup. What we have is listed below.
1- L100 with 5 LTO3 Drives attached to the veritas netbackup server via
SCSI.
2- Backup server is not connected to the SAN. its over the lan and all data
travel's over the dedicated LAN.
3- Hosts are connected to the san via fiber and are there on the dedicated
LAN for backup purposes.


What I am thinking that we should have to plug a seperate hba on the hosts
and on the backup server and put them on one zone on the switch. OR we have
to connect the library directly to the san switch?

Thanks and Regards,
atif
