over a LAN.

The following items describe the paths in Figure 1-8:
■ Ethernet between the client and the 52xx or 53xx appliance. The backups reside
on either deduplicated storage or AdvancedDisk storage on the appliance.
■ Ethernet between the client and the 52xx or 53xx appliance, and then FT between
the 52xx or 53xx appliance and the 50xx deduplication appliance. The backups
are deduplicated and reside on disk storage on the 50xx appliance.
■ Ethernet between the client and the 52xx or 53xx appliance, and then FC
between the appliance and the tape library. The backups are not deduplicated.
