Veeam Agent for Linux - Considerations and Limitations

Veeam Agent for Linux 6.1

blksnap kernel module

In addition to the veeamsnap kernel module, Veeam Agent for Linux 6 introduced the blksnap kernel module for use on newer Linux kernels. Both modules are used for the same purpose (snapshot creation).

  • Veeamsnap module is supported up to Linux kernel 5.18
  • The Blksnap module is supported for Linux kernels starting from 5.10

The default installed module is listed in the Details column for each supported distribution and version.

Veeam Agent for Linux 5.0.2

Intended Audience for this Update

As of March 1, 2024, Veeam Agent for Linux 5.x is no longer supported.

On March 14, 2024, a final update, Cumulative Patch P20240304, was released for Veeam Backup & Replication 11a. This update included a new build of Veeam Agent for Linux. Veeam Backup & Replication 11a, P20240304, is provided as a courtesy to customers who wish to continue using Veeam Backup & Replication 11a for an extended time.

Veeam Agent for Linux 5.0.2.4707 is only available with Veeam Backup & Replication 11a P20240304. The table below has been updated to reflect the compatibility introduced by this new version of Veeam Agent for Linux.

CRITICAL: If you choose to install 11a P20240304, you will not be able to upgrade to version 12.1 until the next minor update, 12.1.2, is available (scheduled to be released in Q2 2024).

We strongly recommend that all customers use actively supported versions of Veeam products.
