Nmap's service table labels 20031/udp 'bakbonenetvault — BakBone NetVault primary communications port', with a comparatively high open-frequency, and NetVault (BakBone, later Quest) is the only widely documented user of this number. On TCP the entry is 'unknown'. If you find it open on a server that also runs backup agents, NetVault is the first thing to check; otherwise treat it as an unidentified listener.",
