Know about duplication and replication?.
Duplication is when you make copy of backup within the same environment - all under
control of the same master server.
Duplication can be tape-to-tape, disk-to-tape, appliance-to-tape, appliance-to-appliance,
etc.
Replication is same as duplication, but between media servers under control
of different master servers.
We only replicate between same type of dedupe devices/appliances.
