• SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11, 12, 15 (x86_64)
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux for SAP Applications 6, 7 (x86_64)

Oracle DB

Veeam Backup & Replication

Veeam Backup & Replication supports the latest two major versions of Veeam Plug-ins. For example, Veeam Backup & Replication 11a supports Veeam Plug-in 11a and 11. Keep in mind that if you use an earlier Veeam Plug-in build than the one that is included in the installation ISO file of your Veeam Backup & Replication version, it may not have all the features and bug fixes introduced in your Veeam Backup & Replication version.

To learn more about the Veeam Plug-in builds included in Veeam Backup & Replication installation ISO files, see this Veeam KB article. 

Network

Consider the following:

• Veeam Plug-in should be able to establish a direct IP connection to the Veeam Backup & Replication server. Thus, Veeam Plug-in cannot work with the Veeam Backup & Replication server that is located behind the NAT gateway.
• If you set data encryption with network traffic rules on the Veeam Backup & Replication side, data encryption does not apply to traffic between Veeam Plug-ins and other Veeam components..
