Veeam to backup Openmediavault host

I try to backup with veeam my openmediavault host. It's installed barmetal.
Downloaded and installed it with apt-get install veeam-nosnap. But if I try to backup my volume lvl, i get this error:

 Item nvme0n1 cannot be backed up without veeam snapshot kernel modul.

Hiw I can get the modul?

You can try to get the kernel module working, but as it hasn't been tested you might run into further issues or have an unstable backup. 

​​​​​Backing up the device won't work. I meant, that you can backup your shares and it's data on file level.

Although Openmediavault is based on Debian, it's neither tested nor supported by Veeam. Therefore there could be some incompatibility which prevents the usage or installation of the kernel module.

You can try to switch to file level backup, which doesn't need to use the snapshot module.

is it not possible to install the kernel modul by hand?

 

Make it sense to backup /dev/nvme0n1 per file level?

ok I think the problem is that I use the pve kernel 6.x for ZFS.

Is it possible in the future that veeam support the pve kernel?
