This question/ask tends to get brought up about yearly for Veeam. The ‘decision-makers’ response is “no foreseeable future plans” for this. As Michael suggests, a request in the forums would be your best bet.
+23Nothing has been announced, best asking on the Veeam R&D forums for this as a feature request 🙂

+11So many things on VBR depends of Windows and registry key.
I believe that it would be a big effort to “transport” the backup server feature for a Linux environment.
The question is: Why? So, many new features come every year and this one certainly would drain a lot of this energy of all Veeam staff.

+7Market share?? Maybe.
How many companies use pure Linux OS (including hosts, servers, and clients)? Veeam needs to hire Linux developers to re-code it.
As everybody knows, Linux is a good system, but it is what it is. Maybe one day, the dream will come true. 😁

+11Great argument
But then, the development effort and the various variants of Linux distribution will certainly make this take forever … Like you said, maybe one day 😁
