Mark,
The customer required to use the TDP, so, the way will be TDP via LAN, but
700 Gg in a Lan...will take longer than in a SAN..

You'd be surprised on what little difference there can be between LAN and
SAN backups. However...

Your next best bet is to do a dump of the database to a flat file, and then
using the LAN-free storage agent to back that up across the SAN (to tape
only, I'm afraid). If you don't have the storage agent license purchased,
you'll need to do that in order to do SAN-based backups on that box.

Doing via LAN will take forever!!

Not possible.  The client can not access the hardware for SAN access.
