Re: Lan free Backup traffic
The same would be true if you had a server connected to disk and tape storage on the same SCSI, the same CI or any other common link. IF you have the luxury of having dual SAN fabrics, one for the server to storage and one for server to tape you eliminate this issue. Or if you have storage on SAN fabric and your tape connected to, for example, SCSI you also limit your throughput on the SAN.
Some interconnects handle the added load gracefully and others have more trouble. If you can separate the storage and tape thats one solution. Archival solutions that operate independently from the server are another option but (IMHO) you lose some of what I call the "file system awareness" that most native backup solutions provide. Depending on the solution and the speed at which it can operate this could be either good or bad. In some cases the sheer volume of data may require that you find an alternative that doesn't (always) use tape.

Re: Lan free Backup traffic
depending on the backup software you are using... you can have your servers that you are backing up... talk directly to the Tape Library for backup's instead of through "the backup server".

Re: Lan free Backup traffic
What storage array (or arrays) are you using?
