      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.

                      Install Veeam Backup
                      ** Note ** Not yet supported on Fedora 26.

                      1. Download Veeam Backup Free here: https://www.veeam.com/linux-backup-free-download.html
                        a. Use the Fedora 24 (or newer) download (not CentOS/RHEL).

                      2. Install Veeam Repository:
                        rpm -ivh veeam-release-fc24-1.0-1.x86_64.rpm

                      3. Install Veeam Backup:
                        dnf install veeam

                      4. To open/access Veeam Backup, type the following in “su” Terminal:
                        veeam (see work-a-round first!)

                      5. Follow on-screen directions.

                      Fedora 26 Veeam (1.0.1.364) Issue Work-a-round

                      1. After installing Veeam, open and edit the following file:
                        vi /usr/src/veeamsnap-1.0.1.364/snapimage.c

                      2. Comment out the following line and then save. There are two occurrences.
                        .direct_access = NULL

                      3. Run the following command to rebuild:
                        dkms install -m veeamsnap/1.0.1.364

                      4. Backing up with Veeam in Fedora 26 should now be functional.

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

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

                                Ya their GitHub is still active.
