Re: Poor man's SAN options
Databackup can be acheived using regular VSS (Volume Shadow Copy Services) available in Windows 2003 platform. This is a snapshot service available in Windows platform..

Re: Poor man's SAN options
The MSA30 is normally only connected to a single host, rather than multiple. Essentially the MSA30 is just a 14 bay SCSI shelf.
Reading the sales info here:
http://www.hp.com/go/msa30
shows that there is a 4 port multi initiator version, however that's not for use with ProLiants.
If you need a cheap SAN then you probably need to be looking at something like the MSA1000.

Hope this helps,

Rob

Re: Poor man's SAN options
the MSA30 is SCSI, so it has nothing to do with SAN.
You can connect up to 4 hosts to it, but only if you use shared busses and hp-ux(!).
I would recommend to take a look at the MSA1000 or 1500.
Hope this helps!

Torsten.
