Hi CraigV,
Thanks for your reply,
i need more clarity on Question 1A,
File Server has lun from EMC VNX and it configured as Disk used for Shared Folder,
if i share and configure the same lun to backup exec server as a drive and take the backup from Backup Exec server itself, will that our issue ?
Thanks,
Murugan. S

No, why would you want to share a LUN that has critical files on it with the media server?
You would load the remote agent on the server and run backups across your LAN, or use SAN SSO with with the Enterprise Server Option license and backup directly to the SAN and then on to the tape. BUt you need SAN SSO to accomplish this. And a full installation of Backup Exec on the file server.
Thanks!

Offhost might work for you assuming the environment is fully supported.
However check out this blog for information that may help you as your environment may not match any of the LAN free setups that are available in Backup Exec.
