Field | Description |

Transport modes | Determines how NetBackup sends the restore data from the recovery host to the VMware datastore. The appropriate option depends in part on the type of network that connects the VMware datastore to the recovery host. Click the check boxes to select or unselect transport modes. For the restore, NetBackup tries the selected modes in the order listed. To change the order, click on a transport mode and click or . |
san | For unencrypted transfer over Fibre Channel (SAN) or iSCSI. |
hotadd | Requires that the recovery host is in a virtual machine. For instructions on this transport mode and on installing the recovery host in a virtual machine, refer to your VMware documentation. |
nbd | For unencrypted transfer over a local network with the Network Block Device (NBD) driver protocol. This mode of transfer is usually slower than Fibre Channel. |
nbdssl | For encrypted transfer (SSL) over a local network with
the Network Block Device (NBD) driver protocol. This mode
of transfer is usually slower than Fibre Channel. |
