Linux Helper Host

Linux helper hosts can be deployed using the Veeam JeOS image by selecting the Infrastructure Appliance option. This enables certificate-based authentication, secure industry-standard communication protocols, and automated updates that are centrally controlled using the Veeam Backup & Replication server.

Note

Component hardware requirements must be added to the Veeam JeOS system requirements to ensure that the assigned role has sufficient CPU and RAM resources.

In addition to this option, you can deploy and manage backup proxies on supported operating systems of your choice.

Note

Bash shell and SSH are required.
