Arch Linux User Repository

Good news everyone: As of release 5.0.2, veeamsnap supports Linux kernels up to and including 5.16. The AUR build has been updated to use the new 5.0.2 source and I have tested on my own machine on 5.10 LTS. Snapshotting works as it should.

Thanks!

The kernel module would not build under the 5.6.15-arch1-1 kernel. You can find some info in this address "https://forums.veeam.com/veeam-agents-for-linux-unix-f41/kernel-5-6-7-veeamsnap-compile-errors-t66615.html"

I suggest a patch file (the sed from rokko74) for the packages or doing it yourself.

After this patch and a install, my veem backup was succesful.

Does any one gets the error 'snapshot overflow' ? there is a topic in veeam community forum, but they don't publish the sulution

I can confirm this patch works with kernel 5.4.36

This module currently does not build with Linux 5.6 kernels due to the migration to 64-bit time structures.

A Veeam user has contributed a pull request which fixes this (I haven't tested this with linux-lts). In case you would like to use it, you can alter the PKGBUILD as follows:
