Linux Proxy for NAS Filer

[louis417asdo]

Hi all,

I'm considering if we can use Linux (REHL) as general purpose proxy for file backup, the data source is NAS Filer (NetApp FAS)?
I checked the Veeam Documentation but it is not clear that Linux can be used or not... (https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... ml?ver=120)

I can only find this but it is absolutely not clear: The backup proxy for file backup and Veeam agent and storage system snapshot integration is a Microsoft Windows-managed server. For object storage backup, you can also use linux proxy servers.

what is it mean "you can also use linux proxy servers" ???

Best regards,

Louis

Hi, Louis

That means when backing up Object Storage, you can use both Windows and Linux-based backup proxy servers.

While for NAS Filer backup, only Windows-based backup proxy servers are currently supported.
But we're working to add Linux-based proxy support for this in our 2025 release.

Thanks

Hi Gostev,

Well noted and Grad to here supporting Linux-based proxy for NAS in 2025, looking forward to it!

Hi!
Is it still the case that you can't use a Linux proxy to back up NAS filer?
