Backup is failing on Fedora 41

[mdippold]

When running a backup job with VAL 6.3.0 on Fedora I see the following lines at the end:

Code: Select all

      09:48:06         Backed up nvme0n1 953.3 MB at 271 MB/s                                      00:00:04

      11:03:35         [error] Processing finished with errors at 2025-01-09 10:03:35 UTC

Where can I look for mor information? Which logs may be showing more insight into this problem?

Despite this, we are interested in investigating. Please provide a support case ID for this issue: https://www.veeam.com/kb1771

Hey,

In my company I have a crucial physical machine which runs Fedora Server 40.
As of this moment, Veeam B&R doesn't support it and support Fedora releases up to 39. Which means I cannot backup said machine.

Fedora 40 is over 1 year old and 4 days ago was announced as EOL.

I forwarded my case to the support which recommended to me:
1. Open a feature request through the support - I did 2 months ago but no update on the matter were given and furthermore, NO ESTIMATION FOR COMPLETION
2. Submit a feature request here (another feature request? make me question the relevance of the feature request I've submitted 2 month ago)

Appreciate to know when this issue will be resolved.

Thanks,
Eden.

Hey,

Any news on the subject?

Hello Eden,

The latest version of Veeam Agent for Linux supports Fedora 36, 37, 38, and 39 only.
There are no plans to expand support to the following Fedora versions.

Also, in the next major release, Fedora will no longer be supported at all (including versions prior to 40).

Thanks

is there any rationale or is this part of the rh-bullying obviously taking place ?
i see no problems if using dkms on recent kernels ...

Till a few weeks ago I was running Fedora 41 KDE with the 6.12 LTS kernel and did not have a single problem with Veeam.

However, the update on May 21 that Fedora will no longer be supported made me decide to replace Fedora by openSUSE Tumbleweed (also using the 6.12 LTS kernel) and like with Fedora, I have no problems with Veeam.

I'm sorry to say this but also openSUSE won't be supported with the next major release V13. Please take a look at this topic: veeam-backup-replication-f2/system-requ ... 97086.html
