Ports and communication protocols for Druva

Druva communicates with your File servers to backup and restores the data from your File servers. This communication happens through ports and protocols that are secure for communication and transition of data.

Druva uses Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol for establishing a connection and initiating communication between Druva components and your File servers.

The following diagram depicts the ports and communication protocols that are used by Druva for secure connection and communication during the backup and restore operations.
