Upgrading Veeam Agent with Kernel Module in Offline Mode

To upgrade Veeam Agent for Linux in the offline mode, 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-13/dpkg/debian/public/pool/veeam/v/veeam-libs/

/backup/linux/agent-13/dpkg/debian/public/pool/veeam/v/veeam/

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 SP7 reside in the /rpm/sles/SLE_15_SP7/x86_64/ folder.

NOTE

If Veeam Agent is managed by Veeam Backup & Replication and the protected computer is a member of a protection group for pre-installed Veeam Agents, you must get the regenerated Veeam Agent installation packages, as well as the protection group configuration file, from Veeam Backup & Replication. To do this you must download the installation packages for your Linux distribution using the Edit Protection Group wizard. For more information, see Editing Protection Groups Settings and Specify Packages in the Veeam Agent Backup section of the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide.

Save Veeam Agent packages to a directory that can be accessed from the computer where you want to install the product, for example, a directory on a local drive or USB drive, or a network shared folder.
On the computer where you want to upgrade Veeam Agent, navigate to the directory where you have saved the packages and install Veeam Agent:
