Re: [Veritas-bu] SAN only communication between a client and a media server ?

As far as I understand it, the "SAN client" is a way for a client to send data to a media server over the SAN, without having direct connectivity to a tape drive. The media server needs to have a FC HBA in target mode to receive the data from the client, and another in initiator mode talking to a t

The San Client and Snapshotting are separate features, with 6.5 they are packaged with the Enterprise Client. Here the blurb on the CDW website NetBackup introduces a new client called the Enterprise Client, which combines all of advanced capabilities in one easy package. NetBackup Enterprise
