By default, the embedded web server in the Free Backup Manager required for the Web-based Interface will listen on TCP ports 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS). These ports are frequently in use by your Linux Server (e.g. by Apache). If you are already using ports 80 and 443 by other applications, you will need to define different ports for the backup manager. 8080 (HTTP) and 8443 (HTTPS) are recommended alternatives to standard 80 and 443. You can chose any valid and unused TCP port that you like.
