Software requirements for FLR proxy
Before you deploy and activate the FLR proxy, ensure that following system requirements on the Hyper-V host are met for the proxy:
Memory: 2 GB
vCPUs: 2
This is a recommended configuration for two restore jobs. If you want to run multiple restore jobs, increase the memory and number of vCPUs.

Ports and communication protocols for Druva
📝 Note
For Enterprise Workloads agent version 7.0.0 and above, port 8082 is used by default for internal communication. If port 8082 is unavailable, the agent automatically uses other available free port for internal communication.
Druva communicates with your hosts to backup and restore data on your hosts. Druva talks to your Hyper-V host through ports and protocols that are secure for communication and transition of data.
Druva uses Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol for establishing the connection and initiating communication between Druva components and your Hyper-V hosts.
The following diagram depicts the ports and communication protocols that are used by Druva for secure connection and communication during the backup and restore operations.
