Debian Linux 13 support

[Roger63]

Debian Linux 13 (Trixie) was released on August 9th, so I gave VAL a try in a VM (amd64). Since Debian 13 is not yet supported, failure came to no surprise (the snapshot kernel module was not built and a recovery image could not be downloaded).

Is there an ETA for Debian 13 support?

[Gostev]

No ETA yet but our standard target for all new OS/platform/app versions support is 90 days since GA.

I installed Debian 13 a few days ago and after the initial installation of VAL it failed too. I had to install linux-headers-amd64 and then re-installed VAL and since then it is running fine.

Ignore my previous remark...got a new kernel and now VAL also keeps failing. Think we have to wait for Veeam till they officially announce support for Debian 13.

Hi !
I'm waiting too !!

thanks !

[FAMEexe]

Are there any news on that? Waiting too...

It is supported with Veeam Agent for Linux v13 (What’s New in v13 - page 17).

That is apparently a version that comes with the Backup & Replication v13 suite. The latest standalone VAL available as a Free/Community download is still 6.3.2 which does not support Debian 13.

Standalone Veeam Agent for Linux v13 will be released soon (Q4 2025).

We need to plan when we can upgrade a dozen or so of our boxes to Debian 13, Veeam support for Debian 13 is holding us back.
It's now ~90 days since Trixie Release

Is it possible to be more precise than Q4 2025.

Hi Alec,

V13.0.1 RTM for our Service Providers is now available.
End customers who urgently need features from v13.0.1 can contact our support team to request access to the RTM build. It’s fully supported for production and can be upgraded to GA later (in case GA build is different).

However, we recommend waiting 2–4 weeks, when the public release (GA) will be available for all customers without needing a support case.

Best,
Fabian
