 On a machine running Windows XP with Service Pack 2 or Windows 2003 Server: go to
Control panel > Windows Firewall > Exceptions > File and Printer Sharing.
 On a machine running Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, or Windows 7: go to Control
panel > Windows Firewall > Network and Sharing Center > Change advanced sharing
settings.
4. Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 uses TCP ports 445 and 25001 for remote installation. Make sure
that these ports are added to exceptions in the firewall settings on the remote machines. TCP
port 445 is added to exceptions automatically by Windows Firewall when you enable File and
Printer Sharing.
To add a port to exceptions:
 In Windows XP and Windows Vista: go to Control panel > Windows Firewall > Exceptions >
Add Port
 In Windows 7: go to Control panel > Windows Firewall > Advanced settings > Inbound
Rules > New Rule > Port
Tip: If the remote machines are members of an Active Directory domain and use no firewall other than
Windows Firewall, you can add TCP port 25001 to exceptions by using Group Policy. On a domain
controller, create a Group Policy object, then go to Administrative Templates > Network > Network
Connections > Windows Firewall > Domain Profile > Windows Firewall: Define port exceptions (or: Define
inbound port exceptions), and then add the following port exception:
25001:tcp:*:enabled:Acronis remote install
You can exclude both ports from exceptions after the remote installation is complete.
