More Information
==============
970090 You receive error messages about communication issues on a System Center Data Protection Manager 2007 agent

https://support.microsoft.com/kb/970090/en-us
A DPM agent failed to communicate with the DPM service on <server> because of a communication error. Make sure that <server> is remotely accessible from the computer running the DPM agent. If a firewall is enabled on <server>, make sure that it is not blocking requests from the computer running the DPM agent

947682 The DPM protection agent service cannot start in System Center Data Protection Manager 2007

https://support.microsoft.com/kb/947682/en-us

Data Protection Manager 2007 and protected servers open connections over TCP port 5718 and over TCP port 5719 to enable Data Protection Manager operations, such as synchronization and recovery. The current problem may occur on protected servers that are running the Microsoft Exchange System Attendant service. This service uses TCP ports dynamically. This service may take one or both of the required ports.
Data Protection Manager 2007 also uses the following ports:

· TCP 135 dynamic

· User Datagram Protocol (UDP) 53

· UDP 88

· TCP 88

· UDP 137

· UDP 138

· TCP 139

· TCP 389
