Azure Backup port requirements
Hi Paul,
Microsoft Azure Backup makes use of port 443 (Https). However are you looking to migrate the server on-premises to the clud so they can run low cost ? Refer to this document for Azure Backup https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/backup-introduction-to-azure-backup
Review my above scenario. My client rents space from another entity. Part of this arrangement is that my client has internet access and other unrelated amenities. The host entity have complete control over the internet facing router and presently have port 443 enabled for THEIR users to have access to OWA on THEIR SBS2011 system. The best I can do is request their IT support team open a different port number for me to use.
Failing which I'll need to use another solution.
Hello Paul,
Please make sure your VM you whitelist the https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=41653. In case you are using Managed Disks, you may need an additional port (8443) opening up on the firewalls.For more information please follow the steps mentoned in https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/backup-azure-troubleshoot-vm-backup-fails-snapshot-timeout#cause-1-the-vm-has-no-internet-access knowledge base.
If you still have the issue, request you to please provide us the error message that you are seeing from Azure portal. This will help us to assis you in better way.
