HP NetServer AA

Network Backups

6-4
In this configuration all backups (CEs and IOPs) are performed over
a dedicated backup network. A redirected pair of network cards is
configured as a "public LAN" through the Marathon Configuration
Utility, but instead of being used for client network access, it is
recommended the NICs attach to a switch. The switch will be part of
a separate LAN for the purposes of performing backups. Though
network backup performance is not as good as local performance,
having a dedicated backup LAN is the optimum configuration.
