Hey folks,

A little share that could be helpful. As a reminder, in Veeam v13 we have a 100% Linux Veeam Infrastructure!

New Linux Roles

• Mount Server
• Guest Interaction Proxy
• Log Shipping Server
• Gateway Server:

  • SMB / NFS
  • StoreOnce
  • DataDomain
  • Object Storage
  • NDMP
    • WAN Accelerator
    • vPowerNFS
    • SMB and NFS components (network share backup)
    • Agent Distribution Server

What a big list! But what happens when you upgrade from Veeam 12?

Here’s my situation: many Veeam Linux proxies were already present.
 

After the upgrade, all the components were updated. So let's go ahead and add some of them as a Gateway Server… and what a surprise: no proxy present!
 


After a quick check, I saw that the list of components was note updated
 

I decided to remove a proxy, delete the managed server, and re-add it. During the enrollment, all the new components showed up!


Once the server was added, it's visible in the list as a possible Gateway Server.

So if you need to use an existing managed server for these new roles, you have to remove it beforehand.

hi ​@Stabz 

Did you only use data domain as a repository? Or do you also use an XFS filesystem for block cloning (reflink copy-on-write) as a backup repository?
