The drive path may  different on each server.

For example on the master the drive might be path 0cbn and on the media it might be 1cbn.

This does not matter and is perfectly normal.

It is advisable to set persistent binding to prevent the paths changing once configured. 

You mention a problem in the San backup, is there an issue or are you asking if your configuration could cause an issue ?  You will need to explain this part in more detail. 

However current paths for the same drive on different servers is not an issue and seen in almost all sso environments.  NBU uses the serial number of the drive to tack it, not the path.
