ALL:
I have seen a number of things on backing up clients behind firewalls, but
wanted to run this past people since I just found out today that things are
considerably different with version 4.5.
The group managing NetBackup have a NT master server, and I have a Unix client
behind a firewall. I was trying to determine what the minimum number of
required ports are for backing up and restoring the client that is behind the
firewall. I also need to know the direction the ports are required to be open.
The network group (who maintains the firewall) always wants to know if the
ports need to be open for incoming or outgoing traffic (i.e. client to master
server or vice versa.) The NetBackup admin was telling me that you can
configure a specific number of ports to be open for backups, but I had always
thought you had to have a range of ports open. Maybe this is the difference
with 4.5?
The last time I worked with backups through a firewall, it seemed like a ton of
ports had to be opened and it was a real hassle. I had heard that it is much
easier to do with NetBackup 4.5, but wanted to confirm the ports being opened,
and also any updated configuration changes that had to be made to either the
master/media servers and the client.
I believe we are using a PIX firewall.
Thank You.
Dan
