    Windows x64 operating systems
    C:\Program Files (x86)\CA\SharedComponents\ARCserve Backup\PortsConfig.cfg

    and

    C:\Program Files\CA\SharedComponents\ARCserve Backup\PortsConfig.cfg
    Windows x86 operating systems
    C:\Program Files\CA\SharedComponents\ARCserve Backup\PortsConfig.cfg
  2. Set ENABLE_CONFIGURABLE_PORTS=1
  3. Add one of the following lines to specify a custom port:
  4. Close and save PortsConfig.cfg.
  5. Restart all Arcserve Backup services on the backup server using the cstop.bat and cstart.bat batch files.
  6. Repeat Steps 1 through 5 on all primary and member servers.
