Yes, but verify speeds before you buy.  I've got 3TB of NDMP Backups
running at 6MB/sec.  It takes FOREVER.  We're currently backing up the
data via NFS shares at 20MB/sec until Sun / StorageTek can get their NAS
NDMP implementation fixed.

One word....NDMP.  Forget about doing it in a reasonable amount of time
using CIFS.

Also, define "reasonable time"?

I have a new customer coming in that has 30 TB of SAN that they want to
put behind 2 Windows servers acting as a clustered NAS Gateway.(Not my
idea). The directory structure includes tens of millions of small images
spread across 10 of millions of directories. Currently they backup their
windows servers at a rate of about 25 GB an hour, however the data could
pass over the fiber network to the fiber tape drives. I am entertaining
SAN snapshots, and backing up the snapshots from the backup server, but
not sure if that is the best solution.

How would I possibly back this up in a reasonable time?

Any help would be appreciated.
