This is not possible. > It is possible ? If yes, do I need some particular hardware (I envisage > to buy a library with fibre-chanel card if it works.) You'll need a backups software, library and disk system which can interoperate directly. This is usually done using NDMP. Typically, you'll have to use equipment certified to interoperate. In the end, you might have to spend an amazing amount of money above what you'd need for a Bacula-based solution, but you will get a better performance. I suppose that, for best results using Bacula, you'd have to attach a dedicated FD/SD machine to the two devices, using dedicated FC HBAs... might be less expensive than the commercial versions even though you need an extra machine, FC HBAs, etc., but this will produce more management overhead.
