BTRFS Linux Backup Free

Post by fleamour »

Will the free Linux client BTRFS/LVM support as the paid version did earlier this month?

Hi and welcome to the community.

Excuse me, but what "paid version" of the Agent that supports BTRFS are you referring to? Current version of VAL (2.0.1.665) does not support BTRFS. Even if it had supported, there would be no limitation for free version in terms of BTRFS support. What is your version number?

Thank you

"Added support for Btrfs volumes located on an LVM volume."

Will this ever make daylight? Would use Veeam for openSUSE Tumbleweed laptop over Clonzilla but...

That's right - it is a different product which is called Veeam Backup and Replication. So the article that you are referring to is related to VBR, not to Linux agent.

Support for BTRFS is on our roadmap for Veeam Agent for Linux. Pleas note that since openSUSE Tumbleweed is a rolling release, it is not supported by Veeam agent for Linux. Although the product is likely to work fine, we cannot guarantee that Tumbleweed updates won't break it.

Thanks
