Noob question - install and run Veeam Agent

Post by itm60 »

I've downloaded and tried to install and run this on my Lubuntu 16.10 system, but it doesn't seem to have installed correctly.

Code: Select all

$:~/Downloads$ sudo dpkg -i veeam-release-deb_1.0.1_amd64.deb
(Reading database ... 158528 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack veeam-release-deb_1.0.1_amd64.deb ...
Unpacking veeam-release-deb (1.0.1) over (1.0.1) ...
Setting up veeam-release-deb (1.0.1) ...

Code: Select all

$ sudo apt-get install -fReading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 0 to remove and 0 not to upgrade.
Nothing seems to get installed, and "veeam" and "veeamconfig" are not recognised as valid commands.

Could anyone advise on the correct way to install and run this?

You should run apt-get install veeam command instead. Please refer to this page for details.

U need to run sudo apt-get update before doing sudo apt-get install veeam. The repository is now added but the cache needs to be updated therefor you need to update it with the first command.

The 4.3kb package will add the repository to your list and add certificates so you can install it using ‘apt-get install veeam’. More information can be found in our userguide: https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/agent ... tml?ver=20
