Backups

Our current SAN capacity has just hit the wall and I need some advice. The
SAN stores our current production SQL db and the backups on another volume.
The volume that the backups for TL's and the database is on is completely
full. Can backups be sent to any server with capacity on the network or
would it be too much overhead? All the the servers are on a fibre switch
between all of the servers so I am not sure it would it would have that much
impact. Moving the backups would give us breathing room for a while until
the SAN is upgraded.Yeah you can - whether it's tolerable, doable or not is
going to depend on the size of the backups and the activity
on the network resources.

no one is on the network.
