![]() ![]() With regards to Veeam, with v10 we have Linux Proxies (HotAdd), Linux Repositories (FastClone) and Linux Agents - with MySQL/Postgresql support.Īs they said - rewriting the Backup server would take a lot of time and expense, but you can still build up a near-native Linux experience using only one Windows server license - if you wanted. I can only think they're anticipating something on the roadmap to do with MS cloud/licensing, which requires these changes - but I've never seen such a quick shift away from MS. Many software firms big and small (VMware, Citrix etc) seem to be removing their MS dependencies, mainly Windows and SQL. This change seems to be driven more by the vendors than customers strangely. Now we have Linux servers, VMs and Appliances everywhere. They even bought up thousands of Windows phones, at a time nobody thought they'd be a success. Our organisation was a typical true-blue dyed in the wool MS shop just a few years ago, where the slightest suggestion of installing anything but Windows was met with suspicion. ![]() Whilst I haven't seen the kind of Linux adoption the original poster is referring to, there definitely seems to be a much greater adoption in corporate environments, over the last few years. I think most of them are open to keep running the one windows server until EoL on the condition that they can later switch to a linux-compatible instance of Veeam B&R, but if there are no plans for it at all I don't want them to remain non-compliant on the pretense of false hopes either. If we can give them some kind of timeline, or if they will have to look for another solution. I want to know what I can tell these customers. In several cases the process is already complete except for the server running Veeam B&R. We are asking because an increasing number of our customers (we do general IT consulting) who opted for veeam "back in the day" are gradually switching to be 100% linux and eliminating anything related to Windows from their environments. We have noticed increasing linux support especially with V10 quite a lot was done to improve operations with linux systems, so hoping something is in the works even if it is far off. I am wondering if there is any roadmap at all for Veeam B&R to be able to run on linux. ![]()
