Mark, can you say some more about that? We're hoping to start doing LAN-free and I was hoping that we could see some nice improvements in large backups that go straight to tape. Are you just talking about the case where the LAN is relatively uncongested and the SAN is overloaded? Or is there something else I'm missing? anker
