Start-NaNdmpCopy cmdlet questions

Hi,

In the Start-NaNdmpCopy cmdlet we have this parameter:

    -SrcAuthType <NdmpMessageAuthType>

        Authentication type to use when authenticating connection to source cont

        roller.  Possible values: text, md5, none.  Default is none.

       

        Required?                    false

        Position?                    named

        Default value               

        Accept pipeline input?       false

        Accept wildcard characters?  false

What exactly is 'none'?  How is this different than 'text'?

Also for the level parameter I see this:

    -Level <Int32>

        The incremental level to be used for the transfer is restricted to 0, 1

        or 2 only. The default level used is 0.

       

        Required?                    false

        Position?                    named

        Default value               

        Accept pipeline input?       false

        Accept wildcard characters?  false

The ndmpcopy binary from ndmpcopy.org  supports 0-9.  Is there a reason why the cmdlet also only supports 0-2 (coincedentally the same as the ndmpcopy in Data ONTAP 7-mode)?  Could it be adapted easily to support higher levels?

Thanks!

Chris
