Simple, FREE Backup for Linux — Anywhere!

Backing up and recovering Linux Instances — whether they’re on premises or in the cloud — is often cumbersome, expensive and requires manual intervention and consumes an IT administrator’s valuable time.

The NEW Veeam Agent for Linux FREE is a simple backup agent that’s designed to ensure the Availability of your Linux Instances, regardless of if they’re deployed in the public cloud or on premises.

Back up Linux-based servers and workstations with ease

FREE Linux Backup for Public Cloud and Physical Workloads

Veeam Agent for Linux FREE is a solution that can perform image-based backups from inside the guest system, both at the file level and volume level. True incremental backup is enabled using Veeam’s kernel module changed block tracking (CBT) functionality. And, the best part is that this module is distributed as source code!
