Ports

This section covers typical Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager connections and default ports required for communication between Enterprise Manager components. The ports must be open on the target machine for inbound connections.

Note

For more information on ports specific for Veeam Backup & Replication infrastructure components, see the Ports section of the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide.

Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager Connections

The following ports must be opened to ensure proper operation of Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager and communication between components.

Ports for Restore Operations

Guest OS File Restore (Windows)

From	To	Protocol	Port	Notes
Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager server	Mount server associated with backup repository	TCP	2500 to 6000	Ports used for file download.

Guest OS File Restore (non-Windows)

From	To	Protocol	Port	Notes
Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager server	Mount server (helper host or helper appliance)	TCP	2500 to 6000	Ports used for file download. For more information on the mount server, see Preparing for File Search and Restore (non-Windows machines).

Note

Consider the following:

For more information on the list of ports used by the mount server associated with the backup repository during file-level restore, see the Mount Server Connections section of the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide.
For more information on the list of ports used by the components involved in 1-Click Restore to Original Location, see the Ports section of the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide.

Microsoft SQL Server Database Restore

From	To	Protocol	Port	Notes
Machine running mount service1	Target machine with Microsoft SQL Server	TCP, UDP	135, 445	Ports used to deploy the runtime coordination process on the target machine.
		TCP	49152 to 65535 (for Microsoft Windows Server 2008 or later)	Dynamic RPC range used by the runtime coordination process that is deployed on the target machine. For more information, see this Microsoft article.
		TCP	6160	Port used to communicate with Veeam Installer Service.
		TCP	1433, 1434	Ports used to communicate with the Microsoft SQL Server installed on the target machine during application-item restore. For more information, see this Microsoft article.
		UDP	1434	Port used by the Microsoft SQL Server Browser service. For more information, see this Microsoft article.
		TCP	1025 to 1034	Default RPC range for the Veeam SQL Restore Service runtime component installed on a target or staging Microsoft SQL Server machine to support restore. Each runtime component uses the next available port in the range, and only during application item restore. For more information on the Veeam SQL Restore Service runtime component, see the How Data Recovery Works section of the Veeam Explorers User Guide. You must manually open this port range in Microsoft Windows Firewall.
Target machine with Microsoft SQL Server	Machine running mount service1	TCP	3260 to 3270	Port range opened by Veeam Backup & Replication to manage iSCSI traffic during restore to the target machine. This port range is opened only during application item restore. For more information, see the How Mounting Works section of the Veeam Explorers User Guide.
Target machine with Microsoft SQL Server	Backup repository	TCP	2500 to 3300	Port range used by the Veeam Agent persistent component deployed on the target or staging server. This port range is only used during transaction log restore. For more information on the components used during restore, see the How Data Recovery Works section of the Veeam Explorers User Guide.

1 Mount server associated with the repository (if restoring from backup), or a backup server (if restoring from replica).

Oracle Database Restore (1-Click)

From	To	Protocol	Port	Notes
Target machine with Oracle	Machine running mount service1	TCP	3260 to 3270	Ports used by Veeam Backup and Replication for iSCSI traffic. Ports are open only during the application item restore session.

1 Mount server associated with the repository (if restoring from backup), or a backup server (if restoring from replica).

Note

For more information on 1-Click Database Restore to the original Oracle server machine (remote machine), see 1-Click Restore to Original Location.

Oracle Database Restore (Custom Settings)

From	To	Protocol	Port	Notes
Machine running mount service1	Target Windows machine with Oracle	TCP	49152 to 65535	Recommended dynamic RPC port range for Microsoft Windows 2008 and later. For more information, see this Microsoft article.
		TCP	1025 to 1034	Default range of ports for the runtime component installed on the target or staging Oracle server to support restore operations. Each runtime component uses the next available port in the range, and only during application item restore. You must manually open this port range in Microsoft Windows Firewall.
		TCP	6160, 11731	Ports used by the Veeam Installer Service for connections to the target Windows machine with Oracle.
	Target Linux machine with Oracle	TCP	22	Default SSH port used as a control channel.
	Target Linux machine with Oracle	TCP	2500 to 5000	Default port range for data transmission.

1 Mount server associated with the repository (if restoring from backup), or a backup server (if restoring from replica).
