WMI (port 135 and a second, random port)

Management Service> WFE

Management Service> SQL

These ports should be opened before the Configuration Wizard runs in order for farm configuration retrieval to take place.  To set up a fixed port for WMI instead of using a random one, refer to the related article on MSDN:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb219447(v=vs.85).aspx

 

Additionally, you should enable the Remote Administration option in the Windows Firewall for each server in the farm to let the Management Console contact the server. Some ports like 1027, epmap, WMI can be closed after the Configuration Wizard finishes installing and/or updating all components on the farm.

All of the Metalogix Backup for SharePoint components should be hosted by computers that are members of the same farm or by farms that have mutual trust relationships defined. Metalogix Backup for SharePoint encrypts Farm Backups with the AES-128 algorithm. AES-128 is FIPS-compliant.
