Hey
Welcome to the Community. Needing quite a bit more info here. What kind of backup are you performing? VBR with VM or physical (i.e. Agent)? If Agent, it doesn’t look like Stream versions of Centos are supported. See OS Sys Req’s.

Centos 7 is latest build officially supported:

The problem as noted is going to be that CentOS 8/9 is not "officially" supported. It will will back up but based on that chart Shane posted you can see 7 is latest. Please let us know virtual or physical also to assist better.

Wow secure boot caused that seems odd but glad you were able to address it.

Actually remember seeing someone say similar in a Forum post a short while back I believe. Not too surprised there.
