I want to backup postgres servers, for it do i need to open port 5432 between the postgres servers to the commserve and media agents?

Hello @arik 

 

Thanks for the great question! There will an agent installed on the client and the CS needs to be able to talk to this. Those Comms will run over our default ports of 8400-8403.

Then why do i need to specify the port in the instance configuration?

Because it’s used as part of the command spawned on the client to connect to the postgresql instance I believe. In addition, it’s also needed because you could run more then one postgresql instance on a single client (of course each with unique service port).

I understand, thank you for the answer.
