What is your primary use case for Veeam Agent for Linux?

We create backups for SAP HANA servers that run on separate physical systems. For this process, we need Veeam Agent for Linux and Veeam Plug-in for SAP HANA. We integrate Veeam Agent for Linux with SAP HANA solution manager to manage the backups.

If you are using VMware, the Veeam agent simplifies the process by allowing you to submit the vSphere and the vCenter address. It then automatically discovers all virtual components. If you have physical machines running Windows or Ubuntu, you will need to push an agent out to those servers in order to back up and recover files. The agent provides access and enables the backup process. In some cases, the agent may require a reboot or two to install it properly. However, the process is straightforward and offers numerous options for backing up file systems, drives, or even individual folders. Veeam agent provides a lot of flexibility in terms of specifying the backup options. Everything is backed up into a snapshot, which can be easily absorbed in VMware. While working with the Veeam agent, I found it very easy to deploy the Linux agent to one of the clients that needs to be backed up.

You can install it on a physical machine or on a virtual machine. It's used basically the same way a company would use Veeam Agent for Windows - except it has no reporting. The only use case that I will use it is if you do have Veeam Backup and Replication installed and you have a Linux virtual machine. That is the only place where I will use it since it's the only way for you actually to make successful recoveries.

It's helpful for automating your infrastructure.

Currently, my company has some physical machines that cannot be virtualized; this is where Veeam Agent for Linux comes in, so it can unify the machines. Still, in the future, for the virtualization of the machines, my company plans to use only VMware.

Veeam Agent for Linux backup and recovery.

Veeam Backup automatically takes full image backups, so we don't need an agent installed on a separate system.

We use this solution for disaster recovery and backups. We are resellers and customizers.

We primarily use the solution to backup our server.

Currently, we have an SAP server that is doing the snapshot. We use Veeam Agent to avoid the snapshot from freezing on the server.

We sell the latest version of Veeam Agent for Linux.

The primary use case of this solution is for backup and recovery.

We primarily use the solution for disaster recovery purposes. We replicate from one site to another from our environment.

I'm a pre-sales engineer, so I'm basically supporting our partner. We're an IT distributor. There are many inquiries these days looking for backup solutions for Linux, so we made it for Linux. This tool already uses Linux, instead of a backup administrator needing manual workloads to backup the Linux machine. You can deploy this agent remotely, from a backup server. You just have to enable flash and pull and check the compatibility of Linux with big machines and you can remotely deploy it and start backing up in no time. Our backup is pretty plain and simple. We can back up the entire machine so that you can be able to restore from bare metal in case of loss of the entire machine. You have the option also to restore single files, including backup of the Oracle database. It supports a wide range of Linux distributions but because Linux is an entire world on its own, with many distributions and cable versions, there will always be some Linux distribution with kernel versions that are not supported. However, there is a big, diverse sets of Linux kernel versions that are supported. I used both deployment models, the stand-alone mode model and the one deployed from the backup server.

Agent is installed to our VMs virtualized with Oracle VM virtual machines and backup them to our NAS storage over the LAN. This is managed by VBR which was installed for our VMware VMs

We use the latest version of this solution that's on-prem. Our primary use case of this solution is to back up our system. It's our main backup.

The solution is primarily used to backup data.

The primary use for the solution is to protect production servers, as well as endpoint and desktop protection.

We use this solution for our Linux backup.
