Can the Free Tool Veeam Backup for Linux Servers be Used in Private Cloud Data Centers? Veeam Endpoint Backup is the product you want to use to protect your Windows physical computer. 

Veeam Endpoint Backup is the first FREE enterprise-class Endpoint backup solution for Windows machines. During VeeamON 2015, Veeam announced a free tool called Veeam Backup for Linux.

It is a simple and free backup agent that runs on physical Linux servers. It’s designed to give you the capabilities you need to ensure the Availability of Linux physical servers as part of your private cloud infrastructure.

After the release of the Veeam Endpoint backup solution, there were many requests for a similar tool for Linux boxes.

Backing up and recovering Linux cloud instances is often complicated for IT Pros. It requires unique skill sets, manual intervention, or much precious time for IT admin.

Veeam’s solution supports incremental backups with a proprietary changed block tracking (CBT) driver. Veeam Backup for Linux does not leverage LVM (Logical Volume Manager) snapshots. Can the free tool Veeam Backup for Linux servers be used in private cloud data centers?

Backup for Linux has implemented a proprietary volume snapshot provider without the same limitations as LVM snapshots. This allows Veeam to take block-level snapshots on many file systems while storing snapshot data on the designated storage device.

This can help the application not use the volume you are backing up! This solution can take a consistent snapshot of the server’s storage by using only the built-in functionality of Veeam Backup for Linux. Mike Resseler has more details about the tool here.
