Description

  • Which ports need to be open for Backup Manager so I can access the backup-console remotely and allow full access to cloud nodes?

Environment

  • Cove Data Protection (Cove)

Solution

  • The following ports must be open for inbound and outbound communication to the Backup Manager:
    • Port 443 TCP. It is almost always open on workstations but may be closed on servers.
    • Local port 5000. If this port is unavailable, the Backup Manager detects a free port automatically (starting from 5001, 5002 and up).
  • The DNS must be allowed if router or firewall rules are in place to allow full communication to all storage nodes:
    • *.cloudbackup.management
    • *.iaso.com
    • *.backup.management
    • *.mob.system-monitor.com
  • Any Geoblocking should also be configured except for the Netherlands.
