I believe the clients also talk to the master regardless of what type of
backup you are running.  The ports are open by defaults to enable that
communicate to happen.  I am not sure if there is a separate port for
archive backups, what version of NBU are you running?  Might want to
engage a network guys to put a sniffer on that switch to see what is
getting blocked.

Thanks

I have a client that can only talk with one of my media servers because
of firewalls we have in place.  I can do regular backups on this server,
but I'm having a problem getting my archive backups to work.  Does a
client need to be able to communicate directly with the master in order
to perform an archive backup?

Thanks
