Can Backup Exec Server be installed in a workgroup and backup agents over hardware firewalls
Hi Can Backup Exec be installed on a non-domain server? I have done it in the past, but wanted to know if it is possible with the latest versions and for it to still be able to back up other remote agents also in workgroups. Can it also back up agents over a third party firewall, and if so, can the number of ports required to be open, be minimised to a very limited number? Thanks Chris740Views0likes1CommentAnother firewall question. Basic setup one sever, 10 clients
I have looked at the firewall rules in https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.100017208 My setup is just a single backup exec server with locally attached disks for backup to disk (no cloud, not tape no remote storage). No other servers are used (apart from the agents). No alerts, no deduplication (I think). Clients are windows servers. Here we go... The backup server needs to initiate communicate to the agents on port 10000 to the clients The backup server then needs to inititiate communicate with agents on a dynamic address range (1024 to 65535 --can be customised) The server also initiates with the agents on port 6101 for "browsing"(??). Do I need this? Do I need to open up 3527/6106 (beserver), if so is it.. The agents need to initiate communication with the backup server on ports 3527 and 6106 OR Thebackup server needs to initiate communication with the agents on ports 3527 and 6106 Same question with Backup Exec Job Engine(beengine) on port 5633 I am going to say that "backup exec managment" (port 5014) does not need to be open in a simple setup. With the above in place ..... I do not need to touch any other FWs.993Views0likes1CommentNetBackup SSO - issues writing to tape library across the domain
I am having some issues in writing to a shared (SSO) library from across the AD domain. We have capacity based licensing model using NetBackup version 7.1.0.4 There are 2 x AD domains A.local & B.com: There is a firewall between the two AD domains. However, upon request all the ports for AD and NBU across the firewall have been allowed. The name resolution has been tested. The A.local domain has 1 x NBU Master and 2 x Media servers (on seperate physical boxes) running on Windows 2008 R2. The shared tape library (4 drives) is zoned to one of the Media server in A.local domain. The 4 drives are also shared for NDMP backups. Issue: Now, a new Media server on Windows 2008 R2 in B.com domain has been introduced connected to the NetBackup Master server in A.local. The new Media server is able to communicate with the Master server and completing successful backups (of some B.com domain clients, some failing with handshaking issues) to the storage disk pool attached to this Media server. I managed to add the library and all 4 x drives through the storage configuration wizard and it allows me to create storage pool. When I try to duplicate the backups from B.com Media server using the tape library connected to A.local Media server, the duplicate job hungs with error "the drives are down". When I look at the device status, the drive showing the new media server name against it shows AVR mode. On the new media server i ran "vmoprcmd -d -h", the output is as follows; PENDING REQUESTS <NONE> DRIVE STATUS Drv Type Control User Label RecMID ExtMID Ready Wr.Enbl.

I have recently had to move my DB server which is a Solaris 9 OS box off ofdomain "A"and on todomain "B". The BE10d is installed on a Windows Server 2003 R2 EE SP2 and still lives on domain "A". The problem is now that the DB server is on a different domain from the BE server,data on the DB serveris not getting backed up. I know that certain ports need to be opened, but I don't know which ones. I think I have seen something about 10000, 6101, and 50000 - 50025. Can someone please help me with this old 10d version since Symantec would rather upgrade me than to answer this question. I'm not going to upgrade this because the hardware is getting upgraded in another 3 to 4 months from now and it would not be cost effective.Solved803Views0likes2CommentsNach hinzufügen ist der Server nicht in der Gruppe Alle Server vorhanden
Hallo zusammen wir haben folgendes Problem, bei der Installation des Agenten geht alles gut und auch die Meldung Erfolgreich wird angezeigt. Dies über die Schaltfläche Server hinzufügen: Schritt eins....... Schritt ende..... Nach der Aufliestung der Namen nach Alphabet sollte dieser hier kommen. Leider geht dies nicht, auch bei Tast F5 / Dienste neu Starten / Kompletten Server neu Starten. Beim Server läuft der Agent und auch ist hier die Angabe der BackupServers vorhanden.

Hallo. I have an firewalled enviroment where I wanna do a vmware backup, my question is....which ports do i need to have open. My setup is as fowllows: 1 netbackup 7.1.0.2 master Linux 1 netbackup mediaserver 7.1.0.2 Windows 2008 SP2 (this is also the vmware backup host) 1 Virtual center server 1 ESX server The two netbackup servers is on their own Vlan. and with a firewall between the netbackup Vlan and the Vmware Vlan. The Virtual center and the ESX host is also on their own Vlan I already have opened port 443 to virtual center from the vmware backup host, and port 902 to the ESX host, also from the vmware backup host. But still i get and "Error opening the snapshot disks using given transport mode: Status 23". we are using NBD transport mode and not SAN because your datastore is NFS mounted on the ESX......I have already tried TECH136311 (looking for locked files on the vmware backup host), but I am almost sure that it is at firewall issue because we are using the NBD transport mode and not the SAN one? Anyone got some good ideas??Solved614Views0likes1CommentBackup Exec CASO using multiple connections to a media server flooding the firewall
Dear All, We recently encountered an issue whereby our communication seems staggered and cripple by multiple (as in thousands) of TCP port connection originating from our Backup Exec CASO to a single media server and the connections coming in and outgoing from our core firewall are occupied and crippled by these connection. It seems strange that there are thousands of port 3527 connection going out/in from the CASO to a single media server. Could this be a bug? Anybody can enlightened us? Many many thanks.665Views0likes4CommentsBackup Exec.cloud
Does anyone know when Symantec Backup Exec.cloud will be available in Austria and under what pricing? Also, does anyone know the location of the servers where our data would be stored (Europe? US?)? Finally, does anyone know how private, safe, and secure our data would be (Would the CIA, the FBI, or similar companies have access to our data?)? Any input is appreciated, thank you in advance.Solved1.9KViews0likes11CommentsProblems when backing up Hyper-V TMG servers
Hi Backup Exec 2010 R3 I have an Hyper-V setup, with multiple server joined the domain. I have 2 servers which are not joined the domain, both serveres are TMG 2010 servers (One is Firewall, the other is Configuration server). I backup alle Hyper-V serveres in one job/selection list, and backs up to a deduplication folder. This Job "Completed with exceptions", the exeptions is that it can't take a GRT of the TMG servers. The traffic from the TMG to the backup server is allowed. Anyone who knows what I can do about this? Regards Lars Mortensen477Views0likes2Comments
