Any idea how far back on CentOS is goes in the repos? Would CentOS 5 have it? I know that REAR supports CentOS 5, just wondering if I should seek it in the repos.

I always forget to look at that. I have no Ubuntu stuff running except at home for Unifi stuff. I always overlook it.

It's only my laptop, no big deal. But I'd not want to use it on Ubuntu servers if they aren't keeping it up to date there. Not a big deal, I'd not normally use Ubuntu for servers anyway (they have an ecosystem problem of half of the vendors only supporting old Ubuntu and half only supporting current and internal full support only for current - it's a bad environment for a server to be in.) But for a desktop, it would be nice to have support and desktops tend to be very current. And with Ubuntu's rapid update process, even being a few weeks behind makes backup software kind of useless for a desktop. Only four months till 17.04 is out!

The RPM only installs their GPG key and the .repo file.

We should be able to script the install super easy.

I thought this was going to be part of their paid product offerings.
I actually have had some nice success with the Beta versions! Time to upgrade!

It is. Veeam Agent for Linux is paid. Veeam Agent for Linux Free is free.
-
@scottalanmiller Cool. I didn't realize they had done two versions of it. Just went and read over the linked article.
This makes me happy!
-
@dafyre My guess is there is only 1 version, with the ability to "unlock" additional features.
