Ports Used by UNIX and Linux Data Mover

Arcserve Backup uses various ports that let data mover servers communicate with other Arcserve Backup servers in your backup environment. Setup defines the default ports when you install the Arcserve Backup base product and UNIX and Linux Data Mover. As your backup environment evolves, you may find it necessary to modify the ports that data mover servers use to communicate. For example:

• Other applications use the same ports that data mover servers use to communicate.
• You want to use alternative communication ports.
• The policies defined by your company dictate that you use specific communication ports.
