If the PostgreSQL Database is configured to listen on a non-default port, verify that the same port is configured on the NetVault Backup Client.
8443	TCP	HTTPS Listen port for incoming Web Service connections.
10000	TCP	Port for sending NDMP messages (NDMP control channels).	Configured on the NetVault Backup Server on which the Plug-in for NDMP is installed. The default port number is 10000. You can change it, if necessary.

User-defined listen ports for message channels	TCP	Ports to receive messages during data transfers.	Configured on NetVault Backup Server and Clients. Requirement: Three ports per client. To run two or more plug-ins simultaneously on a client, NetVault Backup requires two ports per plug‑in and an extra port per client. For example, to run two plug-ins simultaneously, NetVault Backup requires (2 * 2) + 1 = 5 ports for a client.
User-defined connect ports for message channels	TCP	Ports for sending messages during data transfers.	Configured on NetVault Backup Server and Clients. Requirement: Three ports per client. To run two or more plug-ins simultaneously on a client, NetVault Backup requires two ports per plug‑in and an extra port per client. For example, to run two plug-ins simultaneously, NetVault Backup requires (2 * 2) + 1 = 5 ports for a client.
User-defined connect ports for inter-machine setup	TCP	Ports for establishing initial contact (broadcast channels) while adding a NetVault Backup Client, and later to ascertain its availability.	Requirement: Two ports per client.
User-defined listen ports for NDMP data channels	TCP	Ports to listen on for NetVault Backup devices operating as NDMP movers.	These ports are used for data transfers between NDMP filer and storage device. These ports are required on the NetVault Backup Server or Client to which the device is attached.
