More Secure Alternative

Starting in Veeam Backup & Replication v12.1, it is now possible to deploy Veeam Agent for Linux using pre-installed Veeam Deployer Service and add that machine to a Protection Group using certificate-based authentication instead of credentials. Using this method, no dedicated service account is needed to manage or operate Veeam Agent for Linux as all tasks will be performed as root via the Veeam Deployer Service.

Veeam now recommends this new highly secure method of managing Veeam Agent for Linux deployments as a more secure alternative to password-based authentication and granular sudo configuration.

Article Applicability

The granular sudo permissions example provided in this article is intended for use with Protection Groups managing Veeam Agent for Linux deployments.

These granular sudo permissions are NOT for use with any other Linux-related task that Veeam Backup & Replication performs (e.g., Linux Hardened Repository, Linux Proxy, etc).

Purpose

This article provides examples of granular ‘sudo’ configuration for the Linux account that will be used by Veeam Backup & Replication when managing Veeam Agent for Linux deployments with a Protection Group.

Cause

Per the Agent Management User Guide, a user account for Agent Management should have administrative permissions on the computer you want to add to a protection group or a job. If you would like to avoid using the ‘root’ account in favor of a sudoer account, you may also want to set permissions granularly for one. This document helps you to achieve this goal.

Solution

  • Linux user account used by Veeam Backup & Replication for any Veeam Agent for Linux deployment and management operations must have /bin/bash shell set by default.
  • The account must have either ‘root’ or permissions to execute a specific list of commands as a sudoer on the target Linux machine. (See examples below.)
Distro-specific sudoers Examples
The examples below were developped for specific Linux distros, which will be indicated before each example. Process locations may need to be adjusted if using a different distro.

The example /etc/sudoers below is valid for RHEL, SLES, and Debian.
Optional Additional Customization

In the sudoers example below, there are four lines under #DEPLOYMENT INSTALL (lines # 16, 18,20, and 22) that, by default, utilize a wildcard for the package version (e.g., /tmp/veeamdeployment-12.3.*-1.x86_64.rpm). You may optionally choose to update those lines with the precise package file names found on the Veeam Backup Server in:

C:\Program Files\Veeam\Backup and Replication\Backup\Packages

For example, Veeam Backup & Replication 12.3.0.310 uses deployment packages named:

  • veeamdeployment_12.3.0.310_amd64.deb
  • veeamdeployment-12.3.0.310-1.x86_64.rpm
