Best practice MSA2324i SAN backup
I want to consolidate our server's storage to a SAN (MSA2324i) and am looking for the best way to backup this system, without having to install backupsoftware etc. on every separate server.
Is there a central way to backup the SAN directly, as an addition to the built in snapshot capabilities?
For example, is it possible to have the SAN push backups to a NAS (SMB)?
What are my options? Thanks!

There are many different ways to go about this, but different backup applications implement it in various ways.
Typically, a Storage Array will not initiate a "push", but a client can initiate similar actions.

Re: Best practice MSA2324i SAN backup
I want to get rid of having to purchase agents for every single server and just want to backup from the SAN directly, if possible, to eg. a NAS with SATA disks.

Re: Best practice MSA2324i SAN backup
My answer: HP StorageWorks Data Protector Software. All the clients you want to add, no extra cost. You're clients can have media agents as well if they have access to a tape storage system, or some other storage used for backup.
I am not totally familiar how the snapshot features work on the MSA2k, I do not have one in the lab to play around with. (We decided to go with 2 EVA4400's ;o) )
Snap shots work a little differently than in the EVA world (I think). I'll have to try to play around with one the next chance I get.
