Questions about running Insight Manager 7.5 on a Windows 2012 platform

[Andrew Kaplan]

Hello --

I have completed the installation of Insight Manager 7.5 onto our Windows 2012 R2 Standard platform. I had several follow-up questions concerning its operation:

1. I added inbound and outbound rules to the Firewall settings on the server to permit TCP and UDP traffic over port 50000. This has enabled my being able to access the homepage from a remote server. Is there any other rule that I should consider adding to the firewall? For example, do I need to add a rule to allow the application its necessary access, or has that been done already be the installation?

2. I was planning on setting up a backup schedule for the database, and implementing this solution by using Ola Halengren's MaintenanceSolution.sql script. This includes jobs like reindexing as well as full, differential, and log backups. Is this overkill for the server? If so, would a periodic full backup and log backup be sufficient?

Thanks.
