Veeam backup Agent for Linux update to BETA2 on CentOS 7

 

Now I want to update it with newer version “beta2” which was released recently. First of all download BETA2 files for your Linux distribution. In my case RPM files for RedHat/Centos 7 from Veeam site.

First of all you need to uninstall “beta1” to be able to install “beta2” properly.

Uninstall

rpm –e veeam-1.0.0.499-1.el6.x86_64
rpm –e veeamsnap-1.0.0.499-1.noarch

Install

rpm -ivh veeamsnap-1.0.0.678-1.noarch.rpm

Check

once done you can check that module veeamsnap is loaded.

lsmod | grep veeam

veeamsnap             260620  0

otherwise you can have problems with backups.
