 "What ports need to be open to back up a client that is behind a firewall?"
 http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/187321.htm

 basically, rules you need to set up to backup a client beside a
firewall should look like this (from what i remember, please check before
using):

 mediasrv.[512-1023] -> client.bpcd        : media srv contact client to
                                             start job
 client.[512-1023] -> mediasrv.[512-1023]  : data from client (bpcd/bpbkar) to 
the
media server
                                             (bpbrm/bptm/bpdm)
 client.[512-1023] -> mediasrv.[5000-1023] : if MPX is used. depending of the
RANDOM_PORTS
                                             setting, either the ports are 
picked
randomly in
                                             the interval, or sequentially from 
the
top to bottom

 you can with 3.4 restrict the window the processes are going to use, but
globally it's the same process.
