You could use it for a backup staging solution (disk-to-disk-to-tape). It allows for quicker recovery, but if it were to fail (age factor), you can still recover from the tapes.

Thank you Dev very much.
That means I can create a CIFS/ or NFS repository on MD3000i so we can do vranger / veeam backup disk-to-disk?
One more thing if all said above is viable, I cannot seem to find any USB nor esata interface to connect to an External HDD. how could I do backup staging as you mentioned before.
Thanks again

The MD3000 is a SAN, not a NAS. This means you can only give block level storage (to a server). However, this server could then turn around and format the disk and then create a CIFS or NFS share that vranger or veeam could use.

Thank you for clarification. That server is something useful after all.
