Veeam Backup: Ports

Requires TCP 5985 (WinRM HTTP) and TCP 445 (SMB) for remote management and data access.

| Service | Port | Direction | Notes | |---------|------|-----------|-------| | VSS / Guest Interaction | TCP 445 (SMB) or TCP 135 (RPC) | Proxy → Windows VM | For application‑aware processing | | SSH | TCP 22 | Proxy → Linux VM | Linux FLR / guest file indexing | | Veeam Installer Service | TCP 6162 (default) | Backup Server → Windows VM | Deploy runtime components | | Linux Agent | TCP 10006–10010 | Backup Server → Linux | Veeam Agent communication | veeam backup ports

| Port | Direction | Notes | |------|-----------|-------| | TCP 4405 (Control) | WAN Source ↔ Target | Global Catalog traffic | | TCP 4407–4409 (Data) | WAN Source ↔ Target | Deduplicated data stream | Requires TCP 5985 (WinRM HTTP) and TCP 445

Here’s a concise technical review of — covering why they matter, which ports are essential, and common pitfalls. Used for deployment and updates
