(direct backup specific term) A SCSI-3 copy command that allows
you to copy data from a storage device having a SCSI source
address to a backup device having a SCSI destination address,
thus enabling direct backup. The data flows from a source device
(either block or streaming, that is, disk or tape) to the destination
device (either block or streaming) through XCopy. This releases
the controlling server of reading the data from the storage device
into memory and then writing the information to the destination
device.
