Take a backup via fibre

I am new for hp technologies, pardon me if this is something basic.
We have new DL380 G4 server and MSL600 library with a SAN 8/16 switch. We have Windows 2003 standard server and Netbackup Enterprise master media server for take backup. We have connect MSL600 library to netbackup storage server via fiber and two more servers which we have to backed up. After all this setup now we are able to take backup, but it takes 8 to 10 hours. That’s why I think the netbackup storage server are not using fiber and I want to use LAN free backup. So please tell me how can I connect my all servers and library to SAN switch and take LAN free backup. If any software or hardware neaded please tell me.

hi gagannagrath,

I think you dont need to buy any software or hardware in this scenerio. Just connect those 2 clients to SAN 8/16 switch and do the proper zoning.
