- Ports and System Requirements


Overview

Macrium SiteBackup enables backup, restore, and monitoring of multiple networked computers running the Macrium SiteBackup Agent. These agents, installed on remote computers, communicate back to the central SiteBackup server, enabling a single point of configuration for scheduled backups, backup synchronization, restores, and rescue media creation. Reducing the management overhead when backing up and restoring large volumes of computers.

SiteBackup is powered by SiteManager Platform, providing an easy-to-use and scalable central interface to manage SiteBackup Agents. A 30-day trial of SiteBackup can be started by following the steps in this article.


Ports and System Requirements:

The SiteBackup Agent can run on any Windows operating system Windows XP Service Pack 3 or Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 or above. The SiteBackup server and SiteBackup Agent use the following ports:

Purpose Protocol/Port Number Traffic Direction
Agent Communication Port  51515 (Configurable) Incoming to server
Web Interface Port 2904 (Configurable) Incoming to server
Remote Agent Installation 445 - SMB (File and print) Outgoing from server
Agent to Repository Traffic 445 - SMB Outgoing from agent
Active Directory Integration 368/636 - LDAP (Configurable) Outgoing from server

Where possible, we recommend ensuring that the above ports are open. However, only the 'Agent Communication Port' and 'Agent to Repository Traffic' ports are required for SiteBackup to function correctly.
