SAP on Oracle server where Veeam Plug-in is installed

Veeam Backup & Replication server

TCP

10006

Default port used for communication with the Veeam Backup & Replication server.

Note that data between Veeam Plug-ins and backup repositories is transferred directly, bypassing the Veeam Backup & Replication server.

Backup repository server or gateway server*

TCP

2500 to 3300**

Default range of ports used as data transmission channels. For every TCP connection that a backup process uses, one port from this range is assigned.

* For NFS share, SMB share repositories, and Dell Data Domain, HPE StoreOnce deduplication storage appliances, Veeam Backup & Replication uses an auxiliary backup infrastructure component — gateway server. For details, see the Gateway Server section in the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide.

** This range of ports applies to newly added backup infrastructure components. If you upgrade to Veeam Backup & Replication 10.0 from earlier versions of the product, the range of ports from 2500 to 5000 applies to the already added components.

Backup Repositories and Gateway Servers

Depending on the type of backup repositories that you use for Veeam Plug-in backups, the following ports must be open to allow communication between backup infrastructure components.
