As far as I know Veritas doesn't have that capability yet.  I have heard
thought that they are looking to release this sometime in Q1 2001, but may
be seen in Q4 2000.

As far as I know there are not any products that allow for a true
"ServerLess Backup". 

I'm sure that will be a big topic of discussion at Vision 2000.

I am waiting for the same.

Hi,
   question:
     Consider an installation like this:
     
     -------------                ---------------
     | netBackup  |               |FC-fabric TAPE|
     | server(sun)|               | StorageTek   |
     --------------               ----------------
          |                           |
          |         +---------------+ |
          +---------| Brocade Switch|-+
                    +---------------+
                            |
                      +-------------+
                      | EMC disk    |
                      +-------------+
                      
      When Netbackup initiate a backup from a Vx volume
      that is actual on the EMC, the traffic will go
      EMC->switch->server->switch->tape
      
      Is there solutions that can make the traffic go
      directly from EMC->switch->TAPE  ?
      
      Is this possible, what kind of products do I need?
      
Yours
