Mitch IF it fails, the idea behind the checkpoint flag (or marker) is that Netbackup will look at the images and verify the last checkpoint it made. If it is present, Netbackup will start the backup from that point. Example - Backup kicks off at 8pm with checkpoint enabled every 30 mins 8:30pm -

I've gotten the packet dump output into a different format for analysis, and here are my observations. Step 1: The media server initiates the connection on the client's bpcd port (13782). They set up the connection and the media pushes data down to the client (schedule, policy, etc - I'm guessin

I don't see a change in ports. The source port is not fixed, AFAIK. The documentation does not specify source port, just the destination, and which direction. So you should have the following rules: Any port on server to 13782 on client Any port on client to 13724 on server Paul > -Origina
