Barracuda Backup replication

Barracuda Backup's offsite replication port — outbound from the appliance, never inbound.

TCP UDP IANA registry

Description

IANA registers 5120 as barracuda-bbs, the Barracuda Backup Protocol. Barracuda's documentation puts 5120-5129 in the outbound set a Backup appliance needs, using them to replicate data to Barracuda Cloud Storage or to a second Barracuda Backup device. The vendor is explicit that no inbound ports are required: the appliance always initiates the connection, and these ports cannot be proxied.

Exposed to the internet?

Expose with care

Allow it outbound from the backup appliance only. There is no reason for an inbound firewall rule on 5120, so a listener answering from the internet is not a normal Barracuda deployment.

Check it yourself

$ nc -vz TARGET 5120
