From | To | Protocol | Port | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Veeam Explorer for Microsoft SharePoint | SharePoint web application | As recommended by Microsoft | As recommended by Microsoft | For more information on recommended port numbers and protocols for SharePoint web application, see this Microsoft article. To discover ports currently used by your SharePoint web application, follow the steps described in this Microsoft article. |
Backup server, Veeam Backup & Replication console, mount server associated with the backup repository | Staging server | TCP, UDP | 135, 445 | Ports used to deploy the runtime coordination process on the target machine. |
TCP | 49152 to 65535 | Dynamic RPC range used by the runtime coordination process that is deployed on the target machine.1 For more information, see this Microsoft article. | ||

Backup server, Veeam Backup & Replication console | Staging server | TCP | 1433, 1434 and other | Ports used to communicate with Microsoft SQL servers hosting content databases.

1 If you use default Microsoft Windows firewall settings, you do not need to configure dynamic RPC ports: during setup, Veeam Backup & Replication automatically creates a firewall rule for the runtime process. If you use firewall settings other than default ones or application-aware processing fails with the RPC function call failed error, you need to configure dynamic RPC ports. For more information on how to configure RPC dynamic port allocation to work with firewalls, see this Microsoft KB article.
Note |
To restore database items or lists to a server that is running in a DMZ, the SharePoint web application ports will be used. |
