If you need to change the ports used to connect to the Altaro Offsite Server, please follow the steps below:
On the offsite Altaro Offsite Server
- Browse to the following folder: C:\ProgramData\Altaro\AltaroOffsiteServerProfile\Overrides (create the folder if it doesn't exist)
Create a file named "AOSConfiguration.dat" in a text editor such as Notepad. It's important that you do not save it with a trailing extension such as ".dat.txt"
Paste the following into the newly created file and save:
{ "ControlPort": 36116, "BusPort": 36117, "UiServicePort": 35119, "ReplicationDataPort": 36120 }
As you can see currently they've already been changed, from 35116-to-36116, 35117-to-36117 and 35120-to-36120. You can obviously change these to whatever ports you'd like; the 'UiServicePort' can be left at the default 35119 as that is only used for the local UI connection.
- Close the file and Save the changes when done modifying the ports
- Restart the "Altaro Offsite Server 8" service
On the client side (the server sending the backups offsite)
- Open the Altaro VM Backup console, and go to [Setup] > [Backup Locations]
If you have already added your Altaro Offsite Server to the Offsite locations list then click the [Edit] button:
If you have not added your Altaro Offsite Server yet, then click [Add Offsite Location], choose "Altaro Offsite Server" and click [Next]
You'll then be prompted with a connection details screen where you can click [Port Settings] to expand a list of ports to use.
Here you must define the ports to match those you have configured on the Altaro Offsite Server machine
Once done. Click [Test Connection] and it should connect using the specified ports.
