Is SAN Volume Backups possible using PD

Hi ,
I would like to know if SAN Volume backups are possible using PD. I want to try this on our test environment with Puredisk 6.5. Scenario is : 4 File and Print servers with 2MB WAN Link at different locations. What I want is to efficently utilize PD and NBU 6.5.2 and get backup completed within timeframe as now backups are not completed with netbackup. Getting very slow speed.
I donno how to configure Puredisk to backup SAN Volume Drives. I tried once using UNC path but it didnt worked.
Waiting for reply. Please provide if any Technote or link to follow the steps.

    PureDisk can backup network mapped drives. Have you tried mounting these SAN volume drives on a machine on which you are running a PureDisk agent? It should work.

    Thanks Mayur for your prompt response.
    However I had installed PD agent on that server. I gave the UNC path for backup but it backups only Folder Structure but no files in it.

    Thanks and regards,
