Hello,
yes you can

Also Linux OS is cached. Not only Windows. https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... ml?ver=100

All Linux distributions count as one OS.

Thanks. But in the veeam document show follow limitation :

Veeam Backup & Replication writes only data blocks for Windows-based OSes to the default cache. Data blocks for other OSes like Linux/Unix and application data blocks are not written to the cache

Hello,
that seems to be from https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... ml?ver=100 and a limitation for manual population of the cache. Automatic population does not have that limitation.

Best regards,

1- Thanks but while we have low bandwidth for initial sync had to use manual populate cache to reduce the bandwidth usage during replication.
now as you said in this mode manual caching not work for linux server . what do we have to do ?

2 - when will be happen automatic global cache?

1. just wait, do nothing. automatic population will happen automatically. if you have really low bandwidth, then seeding might help more.

2. when you start the replication job
