Challenge
When interacting with Linux servers, Veeam Backup & Replication may encounter a “Permission Denied” error during script execution (Pre-freeze, post-thaw, and repository data mover agent scripts), even when the account being used is the root user.
Cause
All script files are uploaded to and executed from /tmp, which may may be mounted with the “noexec” attribute.
Solution
Execute this command:
mount | grep noexec | grep tmp
Example:
If there is an entry for the mount point /tmp with the attribute noexec the fstab will need to be edited to remove this attribute.
