@Darkbeldin In my network NFS and Samba shares would be a VM also on the same host so I would be in the same boat as before

@Darkbeldin
As mentioned in my original post I have 2 SAN, 1 is for VMs and another for backup. the backup SR is on the backup SAN.

@Darkbeldin
Yes, I have to set up a "New file system remote" for a destination to back up to.

Digging in it looks like I have to create a virtual disk on the 2nd SAN and attach it to XO, attaching it to XO. It would need to be a raw format since I'll need more than 2 TB of space. Not ideal but I will be testing it soon

Is it possible to backup to a shared storage? I have disks from a SAN and would like to use that to backup the VMs.

Here is my setup.
2 hosts running XOCE, both have fiber channel cards
2 SAN servers (1 will be hosting live VMs, the 2nd will be for backups)

I would like to attach the SAN storage directly as shared storage and write directly to there.

I should add I would like to use a delta backup for this
