I have 5230 and 5220 backup appliances as well as IBM DS3512 san Storage. I was wondering if there was a way to do direct from san snapshots of a lun. I have an 8 TB lun with over 20million tiny files on it that I need to backup. The server connected server is windows 2003 which is just super. VSS snapshots are a little faster than paint drying but I was wondering if there was a way to do direct snapshotbackups.

Depending on the model of your appliances some do support Fibre Transport so you could make you client a SAN Client and do FT to the appliance
See the snapshot client guide for more details
Failing that client side de-dupe and accelerator may work for you
