Transfers for backup, i.e. backup clip, backup train (XStream), and restore
operations are processed through the Gigabit network. However, the
following operations are still performed through the XNet: Publish, Grab,
Backup Playlist, and data access. That is the reason why an SDTI
connection is still required in GBE Only mode.

This combined mode permits the transfers through the XNet when the
