I believe that using a SAN for backup is being considered more and more.
However, as Ales alluded to, you still need to organise backup of that SAN.


this is the exact requirement that is fueling the growth in "ide/sata-FC"
these low cost RAIDs (compared to to FC or SCSI hard drive based RAIDs)
excell at "streaming" type applications
&
most 1st line backup packages (CA, Veritas, etc.) have D2D (disk to disk)
backup standard
