Hello, has anybody tried to backup a distro inside WSL2, the distro is ubuntu 24.04
I had posted about that a few years ago, but now systemd is supported.
Thanks, David

WSL is not a normal installation of Linux, so i don’t think this ins supported.
Agreed, that WSL is not a normal distro.
the error message is “ Veeam snapshot kernel module not found”
and from veeam docs, You can install Veeam Agent for Linux using a veeam-nosnap package. This package allows Veeam Agent to operate without Veeam kernel module
and i already have that installed, but veeam is not using it, so I am thinking the problem is configuring veeam agent correctly.
root@wslubuntu01:~# apt install veeam-nosnap
