Installing Veeam Agent for Linux with Kernel Module in Offline Mode
To install Veeam Agent for Linux, do the following:
- On a computer that is connected to the internet, download Veeam Agent packages intended for your Linux distribution from the Veeam software repository.
- Veeam Agent for Linux packages in the Debian format reside in the following folders of the Veeam software repository:
- /backup/linux/agent/dpkg/debian/public/pool/veeam/b/blksnap-dkms/
- /backup/linux/agent/dpkg/debian/public/pool/veeam/v/veeamsnap/
- For RPM packages, the Veeam Agent directory has the following structure: Package format > Distribution > Version > Architecture.
For example, Veeam Agent packages for 64-bit RHEL 9 reside in the /rpm/el/9/x86_64/ folder of the Veeam software repository, and packages for 64-bit SLES 15 SP5 reside in the /rpm/sles/SLE_15_SP5/x86_64/ folder.
