Avamar VMware file-level-restore question

In Avamar 7.4 there seems to be a performance improvement to use HTTPS for the file level recovery:

With Avamar 7.4 and later, the HTTPS protocol is used by default to perform file-level

restore. This improves the performance of restores by providing a faster mechanism

for file transfer than the previous mechanism using file copy.

If HTTPS is not available, the previous mechanism, using file copy, will be used to

perform the file-level restore. The following warning message will be displayed during

restore:

However I need to understand what the "file copy" method is. Is this a copy from the proxy to the client or via another method? Vcenter hypervisor level.....

need a clearer understanding.....thanks

My understanding is the "file copy" method is through VMWare tools which is slow.

many thanks.

Is it possible to disable the https option so file copy is done all the time? Reason I ask is that this feature gets blocked by my client so they dont want the firewall alerts....
