Ports (Storage Systems)

On backup infrastructure components, Veeam Backup & Replication automatically creates firewall rules for the required ports. These rules allow communication between the components. You can find the full list of the ports below.

The following section describes ports that must be opened to ensure proper communication with different storage systems involved in storage system snapshot integration:

If any basic backup infrastructure components will also be used, you also need to open ports for these components. For example, Backup Server. You may also need to open ports for other features described in this section. For example, Guest Processing.
