LiveVault Agent
Port 2145 is primarily used by Iron Mountain's LiveVault Agent, part of their cloud-based backup and recovery service. The agent facilitates the transfer of backup data from client systems to Iron Mountain’s secure cloud storage over the network, providing automated, continuous data protection, especially for enterprise environments with critical data retention needs..
Iron Mountain LiveVault is a cloud-based data protection service designed for automated backup and recovery. The LiveVault Agent runs on client servers or workstations and uses port 2145 primarily over TCP to communicate with Iron Mountain's cloud infrastructure. The agent continuously monitors file changes and handles the packaging and secure transfer of incremental backups to remote storage.
LiveVault leverages encrypted tunnels and deduplication techniques to optimize bandwidth and storage consumption, ensuring efficient data protection without significantly disrupting network performance. The protocol manages session states, authentication, and integrity checks during data transfers to maintain backup consistency.
While the service is proprietary, its network communication model resembles standard remote backup solutions in terms of incremental updates, acknowledgment receipts, and periodic full snapshots. The connectivity on port 2145 is critical for initiating backup jobs, managing restore requests, and maintaining synchronization with the central backup repository.
