OpenSUSE support in 13.1.2 missing

I updated my backup-server to 13.1.2.57 (from 13.1.1.18) yesterday … today an agent-backup-job for an OpenSUSE 16.0 vm failes with "Warning : Skipping dbackup.bct-tech.local: operating system is not supported".
What the heck is that? It’s not mentioned in the release-notes, that machine-components where updated without a problem and now this? Honestly? Did an ai-agent run on that and another one doing the code-review?

My swear-filter is on … i have to stop here … :-)

      Hello,
      support for OpenSuse was ended with V13.

      The helcenter speaks about SLES only, too.

      Perhaps the agent on the OpenSuse machine was not updated with the former upgrade to 13.1.1.18?

        Hi ​@Klaus Strebel BCT! Actually the support for OpenSUSE has already been removed with v13 which makes we wonder why you run into this now.

        You can continue backing up your system with the v6.3 agent in standalone mode and should also still be able to point it to a V13.1 VBR. Only upgrading and managing it won’t be possible with V13 and above.
