Hi Guys,
I'm curious to learn if anybody else here is using the FastBack DR capability through a firewall, and whether you've been able to get it to support FastBack's encryption capability (i.e., FTP over SSL, aka FTPS).
I'm having a torrid time of it - seems as though FTPS is pretty horrendous when it comes to playing ball with firewalls - which for me makes it a puzzling choice as a protocol for a DR capability where there's a good likelihood of firewalls being in the data path between live and DR locations.
It works fine through the firewall when using standard FTP (the firewall admins have opened up FTP for my hosts) but we're all at a loss as how best to manage the FTPS connection, in particular its use of so many ports. I'm wondering if anyone else has already been here and, if so, how they worked through it.
Many thanks,
