You can only do this by writing to tape or tape like storage targets (e.g. VTL) and not to disk or backupexecs dedupe. Though datadomain does support boost over FC...

By the way....
Our Operating System is not Windows Server 2003/2008. We have Windows Server 2012 R2

This blog contains various options for not backing up over Production LAN. However tevia-boy is in essence correct in that for NDMP you connect your tape library over FC to the NetApp and then the Backup Exec server instructs the NetApp to send the backup data directly to the tape library (so the instruction is over the LAN but the backup traffic would then be over the SAN.)
BTW read the blog carefuly as the type of data stored on your NetApp does affect whether NDMP Option is a good idea (VMware datastore on a NetApp for instance should use SAN Transport with VMware Agent and NOT the NDMP Option.)

Hello telva-boy,
exactly this is what we want to do. We want to backup the NetApp directly to the HP Tapelibrary over Fibrechannel and the NDMP-Option. But the backup-job works allways over LAN and NDMP-Option. The backupserver communicates over FC but the backup itselfes works with LAN.
Thank you for help!

Did you zone the library and netapp filer so they can see each other? Can you via ontap cli probe those tape devices?
