Ready NAS Backup Exec

Hi guys, to any one who might encounter same problem. Please check below.

I was able to solve it, by trawling Google. Thanks Mr. Google :)

Here's the link: http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&pmv=print&impressions=&viewlocale=&id=TECH148189

Basically, you need to change the default port of ndmp (network data management protocol), from 10000 to any port that is not being used.

Here's the details on that link above: (you have to make this changes where the symantec backup exec is installed)

1. type netstat -ano | find "10000"

2. You will see that port 10000 is being used by the sytem already.

3. go to command prompt, at cmd window

4. type: cd C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\

5. type dir, you will notice that there is a file name "services"

6. type: "notepad services" or open the file with any editor you want

7. at the editor browse to the end of the file (you can press Ctrl + end if you are using notepad)

8. at the end of the file add this to change the default port of the ndmp

9. ndmp 87870/tcp #any comment that you want (remember to press enter)

ndmp 87870/udp #any comment again (press enter)

(port number can be any number as long as it's not used by the system)

(port i had written above is just for example purposes you can write any lucky port number that you want :) )

10. save notepad and exit

11, stop the symantec backup services (services.msc) and restart again the service

12. try again to select and browse to the ReadyNas Netgear device and you will be able to select the folders already

(Provided you type the correct username and password, username: Admin password: your password)

Hope this helps someone, who might encounter same problem. :)
