So rush and get your test environment ready.
In order to gear up and start backing up data over internet, there are a couple of simple steps required, that you can initiate with your IT team, so that you're ready for BOI (Backup over Internet)-
- DLO Server needs to have a Public IP
- Port number 443 should be open for HTTPS communication
Please work with your IT team to ensure that DLO Server is accessible over the internet.
Seasoned DLO administrators, please note that a new component 'DLO Edge server' should have a public IP; there is no change to existing DLO components.
As always, look forward to your active participation to build a better DLO! We’ll keep you updated on what’s happening around DLO. Thank you for your continued support for Symantec DLO.
