Fedora 26 and Veeam
-
@tim_g said in Fedora 26 and Veeam:
Thought I'd ask quick, there's a CentOS/RHEL 7 download and also a FC24 download.
For Fedora 26, I'm assuming I would install the RHEL7 .rpm because the FC24 seems too old. Am I wrong?
Install FC24.
-
CentOS 7 is Fedora 19, more or less. Fedora 24 is really new by comparison and shares a package management system with Fedora 26, whereas CentOS 7 is still on YUM.
-
Okay good to know.
Thank you both!

@Tim_G this may or may not work.
Previously, I had asked someone at Veeam, let me see if I can find their response. -
Turns out it doesn't work. Veeam installs and I can run it, but the backup fails... I'm guessing because of the veeamsnap issue shown in the screenshot below. So no Veeam backup for Fedora 26.

What's in the make.log file?

Have you tried with selinux disable to see if it still doesn't work?
-
Has anyone else gotten it working on Fedora 26?
-
I'd like to use Veeam on my desktop if possible, as I already have a Veeam PXE boot option for Windows and Linux that makes restores super easy.
I'll see what else specifically lists Fedora 26 as compatible.

There's a workaround: https://forums.veeam.com/veeam-agent-for-linux-f41/fedora-26-kernel-4-12-5-dkms-does-not-build-t45018.html
For some reason it's not posted. You need to get it sent/PMd to you... at least I'm hoping someone does for me so I can get it working... this should have been fixed already. Good thing it's free, I wouldn't want to pay for this kind of thing.

I hate things like that.. Just mark it unsupported / not official and post it.

@tim_g This reminds me of all the Sonicwall Hotfixes they have in-house for known problems and they just post it on the site to request it to Support.
-
Okay well, I got it working. Because they keep the work around off their forum, do I respectfully keep the fix off this one too?

IMO? No, but I already said how I hate that.

No, definitely post a how-to.

This is why I use Relax and Recover if I need a backup like this. It just works.

Relax and Recover
I haven't used that for awhile. Is the development still active?
