Hello,

We are performing some of our backups through a firewall.
The firewall has been set to let standard networker prots go through him to
the servers we are backing up.

For some reason those backups are sometimes reported as failed.
The message given into the savegrp.log, for those backups is "Cannot
determine status of backup process.use mminfo to determine job status".
As i verify the savesets, theire status is ( usually ) "vF" ( valid and Full
).

Do we have a problem with our firewall ( how are the acknowledges sent to
networker? UDP/TCP? wich port? ) ?
