Backup Centos 6.0 (kernel 2.6.32 ) with Veeam

[ilas]

Case #05585253

Hello,

I installed Veeam Backup and Replication 11.

Is there any possibility to back up a Centos 6.0 with kernel version 2.6.32-754.2.1.el6.x86_64.debug

If so, what is the agent version that I could use?

Thank you!

Hi Ionut

Veeam Agent for Linux 5.* doesn't support CentOS 6.0. But you can use Veeam Agent for Linux 4.* to protect CentOS 6.0 . This Agent version is also supported in combination with Veeam Backup & Replication V11 and V11a.
We also have documented the kernel and OS combinations for RHEL/CentOS:
https://www.veeam.com/kb2804

CentOS 6.0 is end of life since 2020. I recommend to update your server as soon as possible to a supported linxux version.
Our next release Veeam V12 most likely not be supported as a backup repository for Veeam Agent for Linux V4.0.

Thanks
Fabian

Hi Fabian,

Thanks for your answer.
I installed manually Veeam Agent for Linux 4, I tested with VBR 11 and VBR10 and I receive the following error:

"Failed to load module [veeamsnap] with parameters [zerosnapdata=1 debuglogging=0 snapstore_block_size_pow=14 change_tracking_block_size_pow=18 logdir=/var/log/veeam fixflags=0 logmaxsize=15728640]"

Before posting to veeam forum, I have already opened a support case #05585253.

Ah yes. Case number is in the first post.
Please keep working with our support then.
As support also confirmed, Agent 4.0 does support CentOS 6.0 and should work.

Thanks
Fabian
