1374917E9EBB8DE1E040000A2A666149 Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Dear All, I just upgraded my laptop from Windows XP to Windows 7 64-bit with site-wide firewall policy on. When I try to backup my drives using Retrospect 7.7 from a server, nothing works due to "Retrospect Client" is not under Windows 7 "allow programs" list. Is there anyway to go around this other than asking my firewall team to make exception? Thanks. --Wo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 You need to make sure port 497 is open for UDP and TCP traffic on the backup server and client. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much thanks for the reply! I saw the port 497 number from the Retrospect manual (or blog) and was hoping there are other means to get around it. Opening a port within my company will involve a big review and I just try to avoid that. Best, --Wo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
