About NetBackup Fibre Transport
NetBackup Fibre Transport is a method of data transfer. It uses Fibre Channel and

TCP/IP over a LAN. It provides a high-performance transport mechanism for the
following scenarios:
■ Backup and restore between NetBackup clients and NetBackup media servers
■ Optimized duplication and Auto Image Replication between NetBackup media
servers
See “About NetBackup SAN Client and Fibre Transport” on page 9.
See “About Fibre Transport for optimized duplication and Auto Image Replication
