<< we now only need a SAN Media Server license for the server so it can send 
its data over the SAN directly to tape.>>

Absolutely correct.  Also, if those TSM files are large, you will get good 
performance.  All you need to plan is that at the time your 30 minute slot 
comes round, the shared tape drive is not in use by another server.  How hard 
that is depends on whether you have a fixed 30 minute slot or 'any 30 minutes'.
