Table: Fields in the Transport Selection screen

Field	Description
NetBackup recovery host	The host that performs the recovery. The default is the host that performed the backup (the backup host). In most cases, use the host that performed the backup. Selecting a different host as the recovery host can result in a slow restore or a failed restore, depending on the transport mode. For example, the restore may fail if you select the SAN transport mode in the following case: The host that performed the backup used a SAN connection to access the datastore. The host you select as recovery host does not have SAN access to the datastore.
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 Move Up or Move Down.
san	For unencrypted transfer over Fibre Channel (SAN) or iSCSI.
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.
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.
