This issue has been solved. See solution.

Hi all,
I am using Backup Exec to backup data in our DMZ. We are using BE 12.5, and these servers are located in our corporate LAN.
I have found this document http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/285830.htm which shows what ports the product uses, but it doesnt specify where the ports are used. ie, some ports should be open to allow LAN > DMZ traffic, and vice versa. Does anyone know where i can obtain this info?

Cheers.

This are the only ports which

This are the only ports which need to be open

Service	Port	Port Type
Backup Exec Agent Browser (benetns.exe)	6101	TCP
Backup Exec Remote Agent for Windows Server (beremote.exe)	10000	TCP
Backup Exec Server (beserver.exe)	3527, 6106	TCP
MSSQL$BKUPEXEC (sqlservr.exe)	1125	TCP
	1434	UDP
Backup Exec Remote Agent for NetWare	10000, 6102	TCP
Remote Agent for Linux and UNIX Servers (RALUS)	10000	TCP
DBA-initiated backups for Oracle and DB2	5633	TCP

If you just want to backup servers in the Dmz zone and your server in in normal LAN

Open Port 10000 and a port range (minimum of 25 ports) in the firewall

Note: It is recommended to keep a range of ports opened instead of just one because a dynamic port can be engaged by any other application and cause can cause data connection issues. Therefore keep at least 25 ports opened for the remote system.

Specify the same ports under the Tools - Options - Network and security- "Enable remote agent TCP dynamic port range"
