Veeam Firewall rule for Windows Server

[Backup.Operator]

Before enabling the Windows Server firewall on all of my Veeam Backup servers, what are the ports or the rule I must manually add under:

Code: Select all

Control Panel\System and Security\Windows Defender Firewall\Allowed apps

It would be good if there is any script or profile settings I can import as I must do this in multiple servers.

Thank you in advance.

Hi Backup Administrator

Please check our User Guide here for the ports required between infrastructure components (e.g. Backup Server, Proxies, Repositories, etc). By default for backup infrastructure components when adding, Veeam will try to open the necessary ports on its own, but if you have further adjusted it, you can use the above link as a reference for which ports are required.

OK, Assuming you can have access to the PowerShell console on the Veeam server, you can view it using:

Code: Select all

Get-NetFirewallrule | 
Where-Object { $_.DisplayName -like '*Veeam*' } | 
Out-GridView

The command will show you the result of all Windows Firewall rule that contains *Veeam* in the display name.
make sure you see the column name Enabled showing the entry as True to ensure the firewall rule is enabled.

By default, Veeam will be adding the Windows Defender with Advanced Security rule, so you don't need to modify anything, unless you have a very special circumstances.

Hope this helps.

You can also copy/paste firewall rules between different rdp sessions.
