If the credentials were entered correctly, you will get a Summary showing success.Since this is the first time this machine will have connected to the Linux server, Veeam will ask if you trust the server.Once you are sure the correct credentials are entered, click apply.If you want to use a different user, just be sure they have the correct permissions to be able to read and write to the proper directories. This is where you will give Veeam access to the user. Next, click Add, and then click Linux account.Set the IP address, or the hostname if your DNS is set up to resolve correctly.
#Veeam backup linux full#
To reach full protection, no connections except for Veeam transport service are allowed to be open/enabled (eg. Now we have a linux based repository with XFS filesystem and immutable backup files. Perfect protection even for long time retention! monthly, yearly,… backups) – they are made immuatable for the entire duration of their retention policy. So take care to chose the correct chain when configuring your backup jobs.īy the way, when talking about GFS full backups (eg. Only forward incremental chains with active or synthetic fulls are possible. Just configure a number of days to proctect backups from modification or deletion by ransomware or hackers.Īs backup files are protected against modification/deletion in the hard way, you have to choose a compatible backup chain. When you add the new linux repository to your Veeam infrastructure the wizard offers a new configuration setting: Doing so enables the XFS filesystem to reuse the same data blocks between files, providing “a kind of deduplication” (takes up less space) and makes copy operations much faster. It makes sense to use a distribution that supports Veeam Fast Clone (based on reflink technology). The repository itself must be based on Linux. With Veeam Backup & Replication v11 the new hardened (immutable) repository is available to safeguard your valuable data in an easy but effective way. Backups are your treasure if the worst comes to the worst.
