> 4. What is this server-less operation? Is this an already implemented
feature in v4.2.1 (new feature in maintenance release ?!?) or just
something planned to be implemented in v5.1 (or later) ? How the
server-less backup will mark volumes if it does not have any path to
notify the server DB? Or this would be some kind of standalone solution,
i.e. server + local client (+TDP for Apps) with reduced
capabilities/features?

It is my understanding that Serverless backup will be release in 5.1.  I
believe it will only work with SAN Routers and Gateways which have the
SCSI 3rd Party copy functionality built-in.
