Fbbranch

The fbbranch option specifies the branch ID of the remote FastBack server to back up or archive. The fbbranch option is only required when the backup-archive client is installed on a FastBack DR Hub or when a dedicated proxy is connecting to a replicated DR Hub repository. Do not specify the fbbranch option when the backup-archive client is installed on the FastBack server.
