What can Veeam Agent for Linux do?

[tom11011]

Currently run several CENTOS virtual machines. We back them up and replicate them regularly with Veeam Backup and Replication Enterprise. Each CENTOS vm does have vmware tools installed.

I am wondering how adding a Veeam Agent install to each CENTOS install would benefit me?

My understanding is that the Windows and Linux agents are for physical machines really. https://www.veeam.com/linux-cloud-serve ... agent.html

Hi,

Agents (both Linux and Windows) would benefit you in the following cases:

- physical setup
- no access to the hypervisor API
- in guest iscsi/fc mounted

Thanks
