To check connectivity to this Server and Port and more simply to this network socket as IPAddress plus Port we can launch a telnet command prompt from a Windows machine. The previous screen also indicates the SSH server is running on default Network Port 22. The screenshot below should show something similar to this. To check the status simply issue the command: When the installation completes we can check if the SSH Server demon or service is up and running. Actually a matter of a few seconds or a few minutes depending on the missing requirements and internet connection. When ready we can simply hit “y” to continue.

We’ll use this one to easily install the required components starting from the SSH server.įrom the Terminal let’s issue the command:Īpt-get will scan it’s own repository to check for the latest version and pertinent dependencies. And this is the case also for Ubuntu Linux with “apt-get”.

The majority of Linux distribution ship with a built-in software repository nowadays. So in this case let’s start with the SSH Server. There are essentially 3 main prerequisites we need to make sure are present in our Linux server: SSH server, Perl Modules and a User part of sudoers file that Veeam will use to connect to and manage the Linux Backup Repository. Linux Backup Repository install prerequisites Let’s get started with the first step about the prerequisites. Add Linux box to the List of Veeam Managed Servers.Install the minimum prerequisites on the Linux machine.We’ll run this configuration in three simple steps, in particular we need to: Alternatively we can also choose NFS Shares directly mounted to the Linux box as a Linux Backup Repository as well. Additionally it is possible to provide more storage by mean of adding new virtual Disks to the same Linux box and configure them as a Linux backup Repository.
Depending on resources available there are three types of storage we can leverage on a Linux server as Backup Repository: Local Storage, directly attached and NFS Shares.įor the purpose of this article we’ll point to a local folder on the main Disk. In particular we’ll review the options to configure storage on a Ubuntu Linux as Veeam Backup Repository. Challenging attackers with different file-systems also by using different or separate mechanisms of authentication is definitely making their job harder.
This is very important to help achieving the widely adopted 3-2-1 rule and protecting against ransomware. More importantly from a security perspective by leveraging multiple and different file-system types we can simply harden our Backup infrastructure. In both cases we can take advantage of the storage managed by these boxes to further extend the available space for Backups Jobs and Backup Copy Jobs. This can be a combination of commercial and free releases. First and probably the easiest is the opportunity to leverage heterogeneous hardware running different Linux distributions. There are many advantages on why and how we should leverage Linux as a Backup Repository for Veeam Backups.

Here we are at the final stage with the Veeam Backup & Replication overview series touching upon different components and their configurations. In this article we’ll review the steps on how to create a Linux Backup Repository Server.
