Should I use more firewall to use a unimus? Because of often backups, and so on?
I just don't wanna get blocked, even if my subnet is allowed from router which i want to backup.

Apologies, but I am not sure I understand the question.

In general, if you don't want Unimus to be blocked by IDS/IPS, or other security:
1) bind credentials instead of doing credential discovery
2) use just a single connector port, instead of having multiple ports and doing port scanning
3) if you need multiple connector ports, setup Per-Tag Connector settings
4) add Unimus server IP to trusted / whitelisted IPs on the IDS/IPS

We also have more info on the Discovery process available on the Wiki:

Is binding credentials a security risk at all?

From a security perspective, binding is better (more secure) than credential discovery.
Binding is simply a method to avoid credential scanning on a device.
