Fedora 26 and Veeam

@tim_g said in Fedora 26 and Veeam:
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.

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?
