Replication vs. Duplication

Hello Forum, I have a quick question regarding NetBackup backup terms and definitions. What are the distinctions, if any, between NetBackup replication and duplication ?

    In simple words

           eg: Duplication - data is transferred between one medium/devices to another medium .

                                 like disk to tape,tape-tape


                 For AIR- It is site to site replication using SLPs.

              replicates one Netbackup Domain to another Netbackup domain.

    Please read this excellent article for more details:

    Duplication stays in the same domain, replication goes between domains.
