Hi,
We have a SAN environment with disk arrays, tape library and
hosts. To have a LAN-less backup using Bacula, do we need to
buy the necessary plugins from Enterprise Systems?
If you want to have two separate storage daemons share the same
tape autochanger that are connected by a SAN, then the Bacula
Enterprise
version would help you, because it has a SAN tape shared storage
plugin.
Shared storage is not really the same thing as LAN-free backup. Of
course
Bacula can do LAN-free backups.
If you are using disk storage on the SAN, you don't really need the
Enterprise
version.
If
my director, clients and storages are all on the SAN, will
Bacula use the LAN for some reason?
Bacula will use the SAN only for accessing disks or tape drives. It
is up to you to
properly configure the system so that Bacula runs LAN-free (at least
for data
transfers between the SD and the disk/tape storage).

Thanks
in advance,
Ana
