[Veritas-bu] Backing up a SAN

How do most people back up SAN data with NetBackup? Currently, we have a legacy setup where the NB client on each SAN-connected host system backs up the SAN mounts that it sees as a regular file system. Obviously, this is very inefficient as it puts load on each client and requires additional network traffic.

 

I thought about a media server connected directly to the SAN, but then there are locking issues with concurrent access to LUNs that are in use by the client systems.


Can this be done properly without some sort of extra software/hardware solution?

 

Eric
