The term "protection engine" in this table refers to all types of protection engine: VM Direct, NAS, and Kubernetes, unless otherwise specified.
For VM application-aware backups, open the ports for the protection engine and for the backup clients on the guest VM.
For NAS assets, open any custom ports between PowerProtect Data Manager, the NAS protection engine, and the NAS that may be required for access to specific shares. You can supply custom port information for connections to NAS appliances and shares as part of the process for adding NAS asset sources.
