When backing up through a firewall, you have to tell Backup Exec what
ports to use. It defaults to ports in the 10,000 range. That's
changeable, but changing it through the user interface (Tools, Options,
Network) doesn't do it. It takes an act of Congress to get that
information out of Veritas.
What Veritas doesn't tell you is that the media server (the server with
the tape drive) should talk on a different range of ports than the
remote servers you're backing up. While it can still work if you don't,
chances are you'll get a conflict.
The other thing Veritas doesn't tell you is that you need a minimum of
two, and an ideal of four, ports per resource being backed up. So if the
server has four drives and a system registry, which isn't unusual, it
takes a minimum of 10 TCP ports to back it up, and 40 is safer.

I see that the [Enterprise] Default Rule is blocking traffic on port
10000 - even though I have allowed it in the Firewall Policy.

Use the real time monitoring to see what protocols & ports it's trying
to communicate on.

I have ISA 2004EE running on Windows 2003 R2 - I am trying to do backups
with Backup Exec 10 via a remote agent. I installed the remote agent
locally on the ISA box. When I try to browse to the ISA box in BEX I
can't it. I allowed ISA to listen on port 10000tcp incoming from the
BEX server with no luck. The support person I spoke with at
SymantecVeritas didn't even know what ISA server was.
I can't be the only one in the world trying to back up ISA 2004 with
Backup Exec 10. Can anyone shed some light on this?
