Veeam backups on Proxmox hosts

[agelosnm]

I'm trying to configure Veeam for backing up my Proxmox hosts.

I have installed everything that is needed but when I execute the backup job the below error shows up:

12:54:31         Job backup started at 2023-03-13 10:54:31 UTC
12:54:32         Preparing to backup
12:54:32         [error] Failed to create volume snapshot                                                                             00:00:00
12:54:32         [error] Failed to take volume snapshot
12:54:32         [error] Failed to perform backup
12:54:32         [error] Neither [blksnap] nor [veeamsnap] module was found
12:54:32         [error] Processing finished with errors at 2023-03-13 10:54:32 UTC

Any ideas? I have configured same for other Linux hosts without any issue

while this is not really a pve or pbs question (rather a veeam one), the error seems to be:

12:54:32 [error] Neither [blksnap] nor [veeamsnap] module was found

neither 'blksnap' nor 'veeamsnap' kernel modules are installed but needed by veeam
on how to install them... i would ask veeam support/forum/etc.
(never used that personally)

Thanks!
I did post on Veeam forum and currently Proxmox is not supported for their Linux Agent.

You can use Veeam Agent unsupported on Debian, but many things are Different on a PVE Host, like Proxmox Cluster FS and so on.
You can made a Filebased Backup from /etc/pve but this is easier with rsync or other tools.
Veeam Agent in Guest VMs runs great.

I still would like to see some kind of ISO you could put on a USB stick, boot from it and then get some UI to backup/restore whole disks or single partitions to the PBS. Something smilar to what clonezilla or veeam are doing. All that is already possible by booting a Debian with the proxmox-backup-client package, just without a nice UI.

I second that. Macrium Rescue spoiled me for home use.

Same here. apt-get install veeam-nosnap did the trick for me.
