Veeam Agent for Linux 6.0.3

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.
