    TCP

    49152 to 65535. For Microsoft Windows 2008 and higher.

    The dynamic RPC range that is used by the runtime coordination process which is deployed on a VM guest OS for application-aware processing.

    Microsoft SQL Server VM Guest OS

    Veeam Backup Server / Guest Interaction Proxy (Enterprise and Enterprise Plus editions)

    TCP

    49152 to 65535. For Microsoft Windows 2008 and higher

    The dynamic RPC range that is used by the runtime coordination process which is deployed on a VM guest OS for application-aware processing

    Log Shipping Server

    TCP

    2500 to 5000

    For Microsoft SQL Server transaction logs shipping

    The default port range used by the Veeam data mover service for data transfer over the network.

    Used Ports Note:

    Configuring dynamic RPC range is not required when using default Microsoft Windows firewall settings as Veeam Backup & Replication automatically creates an associated firewall rule for the runtime process during installation. When using custom firewall settings or if application-aware processing fails with the RPC function call failed error, Make sure configuring dynamic RPC ports manually.
