On a computer that is connected to the internet, download Veeam Agent packages intended for your Linux distribution from the [Veeam software repository](https://repository.veeam.com/backup/linux/agent-13/). - 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/b/blksnap-dkms/`](https://repository.veeam.com/backup/linux/agent-13/dpkg/debian/public/pool/veeam/b/blksnap-dkms/) - [`/backup/linux/agent-13/dpkg/debian/public/pool/veeam/v/veeamsnap/`](https://repository.veeam.com/backup/linux/agent-13/dpkg/debian/public/pool/veeam/v/veeamsnap/) - [`/backup/linux/agent-13/dpkg/debian/public/pool/veeam/v/veeam-libs/`](https://repository.veeam.com/backup/linux/agent-13/dpkg/debian/public/pool/veeam/v/veeam-libs/) - [`/backup/linux/agent-13/dpkg/debian/public/pool/veeam/v/veeam/`](https://repository.veeam.com/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/`](https://repository.veeam.com/backup/linux/agent-13/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/`](https://repository.veeam.com/backup/linux/agent-13/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 , 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](https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbr/userguide/agents_protection_group_edit.html?ver=13) and [Specify Packages](https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbr/userguide/protection_group_packages.html?ver=13) in the Veeam Agent Backup section of the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide. ::: 2. 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. 3. On the computer where you want to upgrade Veeam Agent, navigate to the directory where you have saved the packages and install Veeam Agent: - [Upgrading Veeam Agent for Linux in RHEL / Rocky Linux / AlmaLinux](#rhel) - [Upgrading Veeam Agent for Linux in Oracle Linux](#oracle) - [Upgrading Veeam Agent for Linux in SLES](#sles) - [Upgrading Veeam Agent for Linux in Debian / Ubuntu](#deb) ::: tip When upgrading RPM packages, you can use the `-Uvh` option instead of `-U` to get verbose output and progress meters. ::: ## Upgrading Veeam Agent for Linux in RHEL / Rocky Linux / AlmaLinux {#rhel} To install Veeam Agent for Linux, use one of the following commands: *RHEL 7.9 ELS* ``` rpm -U kmod-veeamsnap-13.1.2.11-1.el7.x86_64.rpm veeam-libs-13.1.2.11-1.x86_64.rpm veeam-13.1.2.11-1.el7.x86_64.rpm ``` *RHEL 8 / Rocky Linux 8.10 / AlmaLinux 8.10* ``` rpm -U kmod-veeamsnap-13.1.2.11-1.el8.x86_64.rpm veeam-libs-13.1.2.11-1.x86_64.rpm veeam-13.1.2.11-1.el8.x86_64.rpm ``` *RHEL 9 / Rocky Linux 9.4 – 9.8 / AlmaLinux 9.4 – 9.8* ``` rpm -U kmod-blksnap-13.1.2.11-1.el9.x86_64.rpm veeam-libs-13.1.2.11-1.x86_64.rpm veeam-13.1.2.11-1.el9.x86_64.rpm ``` *RHEL 10 / Rocky Linux 10 / AlmaLinux 10* ``` rpm -U kmod-blksnap-13.1.2.11-1.el10.x86_64.rpm veeam-libs-13.1.2.11-1.x86_64.rpm veeam-13.1.2.11-1.el10.x86_64.rpm ``` ## Upgrading Veeam Agent for Linux in Oracle Linux {#oracle} To install Veeam Agent for Linux, use one of the following commands: *For Oracle Linux 7* ``` rpm -U veeamsnap-13.1.2.11-1.noarch.rpm veeam-libs-13.1.2.11-1.x86_64.rpm veeam-13.1.2.11-1.el7.x86_64.rpm ``` *For Oracle Linux 8* ``` rpm -U veeamsnap-13.1.2.11-1.noarch.rpm veeam-libs-13.1.2.11-1.x86_64.rpm veeam-13.1.2.11-1.el8.x86_64.rpm ``` *For Oracle Linux 9* ``` rpm -U blksnap-13.1.2.11-1.noarch.rpm veeam-libs-13.1.2.11-1.x86_64.rpm veeam-13.1.2.11-1.el9.x86_64.rpm ``` *For Oracle Linux 10* ``` rpm -U blksnap-13.1.2.11-1.noarch.rpm veeam-libs-13.1.2.11-1.x86_64.rpm veeam-13.1.2.11-1.el10.x86_64.rpm ``` ## Upgrading Veeam Agent for Linux in SLES {#sles} To install Veeam Agent for Linux, use one of the following commands: *For SLES 12 SP5* ``` zypper in veeamsnap-kmp-default-13.1.2.11_k4.12.14_120-sles12.5.x86_64.rpm veeam-libs-13.1.2.11-1.x86_64.rpm veeam-13.1.2.11-1.sle12.x86_64.rpm ``` *For SLES 15 SP3 with default kernel* ``` zypper in blksnap-kmp-default-13.1.2.11_k5.3.18_57-sles15.3.x86_64.rpm veeam-libs-13.1.2.11-1.x86_64.rpm veeam-13.1.2.11-1.sle15.x86_64.rpm ``` *For SLES 15 SP3 with preemptive kernel* ``` zypper in blksnap-kmp-preempt-13.1.2.11_k5.3.18_57-sles15.3.x86_64.rpm veeam-libs-13.1.2.11-1.x86_64.rpm veeam-13.1.2.11-1.sle15.x86_64.rpm ``` *For SLES 15 SP4* ``` zypper in blksnap-kmp-default-13.1.2.11_k5.14.21_150400.22-sles15.4.x86_64.rpm veeam-libs-13.1.2.11-1.x86_64.rpm veeam-13.1.2.11-1.sle15.x86_64.rpm ``` *For SLES 15 SP5* ``` zypper in blksnap-kmp-default-13.1.2.11_k5.14.21_150500.53-sles15.5.x86_64.rpm veeam-libs-13.1.2.11-1.x86_64.rpm veeam-13.1.2.11-1.sle15.x86_64.rpm ``` *For SLES 15 SP6* ``` zypper in blksnap-kmp-default-13.1.2.11_k6.4.0_150600.21-sles15.6.x86_64.rpm veeam-libs-13.1.2.11-1.x86_64.rpm veeam-13.1.2.11-1.sle15.x86_64.rpm ``` *For SLES 15 SP7* ``` zypper in blksnap-kmp-default-13.1.2.11_k6.4.0_150700.51-sles15.7.x86_64.rpm veeam-libs-13.1.2.11-1.x86_64.rpm veeam-13.1.2.11-1.sle15.x86_64.rpm ``` *For SLES 16.0* ``` zypper in blksnap-kmp-default-13.1.2.11_k6.12.0_160000.5-sles16.0.x86_64.rpm veeam-libs-13.1.2.11-1.x86_64.rpm veeam-13.1.2.11-1.sle15.x86_64.rpm ``` ## Upgrading Veeam Agent for Linux in Debian / Ubuntu {#deb} To install Veeam Agent for Linux, use one the following commands: *For Debian 10 / Ubuntu 16.04, 18.04, 20.04 (kernel 5.4)* ``` apt-get install veeamsnap_13.1.2.11_all.deb veeam-libs_13.1.2.11_amd64.deb veeam_13.1.2.11_amd64.deb ``` *For Debian 11 – 13 / Ubuntu 22.04 – 26.04* ``` apt-get install blksnap_13.1.2.11_all.deb veeam-libs_13.1.2.11_amd64.deb veeam_13.1.2.11_amd64.deb ```
