disk storage on the appliance. You can use FT both for backups to deduplication
storage and backups to AdvancedDisk storage.
FT between the client and the 50xx deduplication appliance through the 52xx

backups are deduplicated and reside on disk storage on the 50xx deduplication
appliance.
FT between the client and a 52xx or 53xx appliance, and then FC between the
