My understanding is that the SAN agent allows LAN-free backup ONLY for the
Exchange TDP and the TDP for R/3 at this time, not the regular
backup/archive clients.
The backup/archive clients for UNIX & NT should support it eventually as new
releases of those clients come out.
If this isn't true, somebody please enlighten me - I"ve got clients waiting
for this function too!
