Ehhh? Which version are you using?

In NetBackup 3.2 the server contacts the client on 13782 (so you need to
open for that port from the backup server to the clients), but the problem
with version 3.2 is that you cannot define which port the client should
respond to the server on. So you need to open from the client to the NBU
server on ports from 1025 to 5000 to be sure (it usually starts at 4999 and
down).

Remember to set the reserved ports on the client by adding

ALLOW_NON_RESERVED_PORTS=TRUE

to the bp.conf file on the client

and entering the following command on the NBU master:
bpclient -client client_hostname -add -current_host
client_hostname -connect_nr_port 1

(The -current_host is needed if you have problems with doing restores from
the clients through the firewall).

According to some rumors the ability to choose the ports that client will
return to the server from, should have been added in NetBackup 3.4 again.
