[HOWTO] Backup of NetApp SAN storage Luns using NDMP/Snapshot/Snapmirror

Hello,

We have a NetApp storage box which we are using as SAN storage (not a NAS storage). It presents Fibre channel LUNS to hosts. I am looking to see if these LUNS can be backed up using NDMP, SNAPshot, SNAPdiff, SNAPmirror to tape technologies with NetAPP and integrated with TSM.

It seems that these options are only available to NetApp NAS. Have somebody used it with NetApp SAN storage and if yes, kindly provide me some details about how this can be done. Any documentation will be high appreciated.

Thanks
