Hi Marianne,
There is no SAN Client support for NetApp because the Netbackup Client and SAN Client cannot be install under any NetApp box, what I mentioned on the SAN Client option was to perform the backup through the Windows box (who does support SAN Client) and thats why I mentioned that the data will still travel trough the LAN from the NetApp filer to the Windows box and from the Windows box to the FT Media Server through the SAN using the SAN Client but your are right the CIFS piece I think is the problem there is no Cross Mount Point for CIFS shares, so not much options are left because NDMP can only go to Tape Drives no DiskSTU, leaving the VTL option has only posibility.
I realy dont know how ExaGrid works Im thinking a normal SAN device has a EMC Clariion which is direct attach to a NBU Media server where DSSU is used to backup the data, but I think that in order to clear this question D.C. needs to share a bit more of he's architecture and some specs of how the ExaGrid Storage is mounted under NBU, because if there is no SAN connection also the FalconStore option will not work because iSCSI will need to be configured and that is LAN.
Thanks for the heads up and hope this helps D.C.
Have a good one.

The deal with the windows box is that netbackup cannot backup CIFS shares and if it does is something new for me. Only UNIX NFS mount points are supported for Cross backups.
