Veritas NetBackup™ Bare Metal Restore™ Administrator's Guide

Port usage during restores

During restores, clients communicate with BMR master, BMR boot, and NetBackup master-media servers through specific services and ports. If the boot servers are behind a firewall, communication between the client server and boot servers must be allowed through these ports.

Table: Port usage during restores lists the ports and services that are used during restores.
