The node attributes DATAREADPATH and DATAWRITEPATH determine the
restriction placed on the node. You can restrict a node to use only the LAN-free
path on backup and archive (DATAWRITEPATH), and the LAN path on restore
and retrieve (DATAREADPATH). Note that such a restriction can fail a backup
or archive operation if the LAN-free path is unavailable. Consult the

Administrator’s Reference for more information regarding these attributes.
