[BETA] Known Issues + How to Submit a New Issue

Post by Gostev »

The list of known issues is being updated based on the feedback from beta testers, so please check back before reporting an issue.

Features to test with this beta
• Entire computer, volume-level and file-level backup with support for multiple jobs
• Bare metal recovery, volume-level and file-level restores
• Proprietary snapshot driver (no reliance on LVM snapshots)
• Proprietary changed block tracking driver for incremental backups

Features NOT available in this beta
• Integration with Veeam Backup & Replication
• Restore to a smaller disk

Known Issues and Limitations
• BTRFS and ZFS file systems are not supported.
• Recovery Media will not boot in a Generation 2 Hyper-V VM.
• Only 64-bit Recovery Media is provided with this beta, so you will not be able to perform Bare Metal Recovery on 32-bit hardware. 32-bit Recovery Media will be provided with the next beta update Soon™
• In some scenarios, the resulting backup size may be larger than used space in the OS despite compression due to image-level backup picking up "dirty" file blocks belonging to the deleted files. This is normal behavior of a classic image-level backup, see Veeam BitLooker blog post for more information.
• Backup job to NFS or SMB share may hang in case of network disconnect.
• Wrong characters are displayed in putty terminal. To fix the issue, run export NCURSES_NO_UTF8_ACS=1 command.

How to Submit a New Issue
Please submit issues by creating a separate topic for each issue. Please do not post log snippets, instead include the link to full logs package from /var/logs/veeam directory from the agent and /usr/share/Veeam/LPB directory from the recovery media (use Dropbox, OneDrive etc. to share the log package with us).

Veeam Agent for Linux: System Requirements

Post by Gostev » 3 people like this post

Hardware
CPU: x86, x86-64
Memory: 1 GB RAM
Disk Space: 60 MB + additional disk space in /tmp for snapshot writes redirection while the backup is being taken

Operating System
64-bit and 32-bit OS with kernel version 2.6.32 or later:
• RedHat and derivatives (CentOS etc.)
• Debian and derivatives (Ubuntu etc.)

We've tested the following operating systems:
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6.0 – 7.2
• CentOS 6.0 – 7.2
• Debian 6.0 – 8.3
• Ubuntu 10.04 – 15.10
• SUSE Linux 11.1 - 12.1 (seems to work, but there will be NO official support in the first release)
• openSUSE 11.3 - 13.2 (seems to work, but there will be NO official support in the first release)

Software Dependencies
Protected Linux installation must have the following components installed:
• dkms*
• gcc
• make
• perl
• kernel-headers**
• kernel-devel**
• libudev
• libacl
• libattr
• lvm2
• libfuse

*dkms package is not present in RHEL/CentOS default repositories, so you need to install it from a 3rd-party (EPEL) repository. Installation example for CentOS:

Code: Select all

wget https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm -O ~/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
rpm –i ~/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
yum update –y
yum install dkms –y
In CentOS 7 it's already in the distribution, so you only need to do:

Code: Select all

yum -y install epel-release && yum repolist
**make sure that kernel-devel and kernel-headers versions match you current kernel version. In case yum package manager attempts to install packages that have newer version than your current kernel, please use an archive repository (http://vault.centos.org for CentOS) to download and install the appropriate packages.
