Make sure the connection ports on both server and client are set to 0-0.

The ports you open on your firewall also depends on the number of ports on your backup server,

See this example:
A NetWorker server in the public LAN has the Service ports set to 7937-7960.
A client is in DMZ with the Service ports set to 7937-7940.

Client: 192.167.10.101 (behind Firewall)
NW server: 192.167.10.126 (in public LAN)

sudo code for connection of client in DMZ to NW server
TCP, Service, src 192.167.10.101, dest 192.167.10.126, ports 7937-7960, action accept

sudo code for connection of NW server to client in DMZ
TCP, Service, src 192.167.10.126, dest 192.167.10.101, ports 7937-7940, action accept

Can you confirm those ports are set on NW side too within NW database?

I have set the Connection ports to 0-0I have asked the firewall team to open the service ports 7937-9936 and that both be TCP and UDP bidirectional.What command line tests will show that a scheduled server initiated backup will be successful.

Run a manual backup from the GUI.
Go to Monitoring/Groups, highlight a Group and select Start.
If the backup starts then you can be sure the schedule backup will run.
You can ckeck the backup activities from the Log tab.

ble1 · Answer

There is no command line for that... you can check it from GUI or from logs (CLI). Or you can run backup from CLI on server and see what do you get.
