I have been using the veeam agent on Windows for years without issues.
Now that I switched to linux, I want to setup a full system backup via veeam agent.
The Linux distribution I use is openSuse Tumbleweed slowroll.
I know this is not fully supported by veeam, but Tumbleweed works otherwise best for me.
I installed the veeam Agent for Linux in the nosnap version as described in the user guide, version is v6.3.2.1307.
The job is configured to backup the entire machine with a SMB share as destination.
The backup job starts normal and copies all the data without issue.
At 99% there seems to be an issue with grub:
Unable to locate grub-install binary
Is there something missing on my machine or what else could cause this?
