I have a backup server that our other servers need to access via ftp for nightly backups, I also want to RDC into the server as needed, perferably only allowing one of our main servers RDC capabilties.
I was wondering what the best practice would be for this?
1. Should I connect our backup server to an unused interface and only open port 23 and the RDC ports on that interface?
2. Can I just create a rule to allow the ports I want in the firewall , then below that rule block all traffic to the ip of the backup server?
I currently have the backup server on it's own subnet outside the subnet mask of other computers on our network and have a 2nd interface on one of our servers with an ip inside the subnet of the backup server to access it, but on the current configuration our other servers aren't able to backup to it.
Any suggestions?
