Brightstor Arcserve
Brightstor Arcserve Backup is a comprehensive enterprise backup solution designed to protect critical data across multiple platforms and applications. It facilitates automated data backup, recovery, and storage management across Windows and various networked environments, offering centralized control over backup operations..
Brightstor Arcserve Backup is a widely used enterprise data protection and backup software suite developed originally by Computer Associates (now CA Technologies). The software supports backup across various platforms, including Windows, UNIX, and Linux, providing heterogeneous network environments with reliable data protection. It allows automated scheduling, backup to multiple storage media, and advanced recovery options for system administrators.
Port 6051 is utilized by Arcserve Backup primarily to facilitate communication between its distributed components such as backup servers, agents installed on client machines, and storage devices. These components communicate over TCP to coordinate data transfer commands, backup job statuses, reporting, and recovery procedures. This communication allows streamlined management from the Arcserve interface, centralizing control over multiple backup endpoints.
Integrations with other enterprise solutions and databases (like Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, Exchange, and virtualized environments) rely on this communication to perform consistent backups with minimal impact on running applications. Because enterprise backup systems handle sensitive and business-critical data, maintaining secure and reliable communication over this port is essential for operational success.
