AW: was re Backups in a SAN with heterogenous environments

{I can't remember the exact title of my previous email -- it is on my home PC and I am at work right now}

I had asked about options for backups when running heterogenous environments [eg HP and Sun Database Servers with DBs on FileSystems] in a single SAN.

We had a meeting with Sun and their local dealer and Hitachi wich actually suppies the HDS 9XXX storage systems to Sun. I identified these options at the end of the meetings
1. Tape library connected to both Sun and HP servers
[SCSI connection]

2. Add a backup server for each OS in to the SAN
[e.g. one backup server for Sun file-systems, another
for HP file-systems]
3. Backup over the Network [standard Veritas Netbackup client and server]
4. Tape library directly on the SAN switch via FC and using Veritas NetBackup Shared Storage Option to share the tape library and yet do LAN-free backups.
