Though i would share this :

 

There are a few ways to install packages on Linux , most commonly is pulling packages using a package manager like Yum or Apt to find the relevant on a connected repository.

Linux repositories can be online through the internet or cloned/created offline on your network.

 

Connecting  your Linux host/s to Veeam online Software repo :

#This is for RPM based systems below

( Debian based needs a bit of alteration , Repo file and commands differ )

 

Add http://repository.veeam.com/ As yum repository list

 

First , we create a repo file

cd /etc/yum.repos.d

Create the file in editor ( vi / vim )

vi veeam.repo

add these lines

[veeam-Repo]

name= Veeam Agent for Linux (EL8)

baseurl=http://repository.veeam.com/.private/rpm/el/8

gpgcheck=1

gpgkey=http://repository.veeam.com/.private/rpm/el/8/repodata/repomd.xml.key

enabled=1

you can change /el/ to distro of Linux ie : /rpm/suse/

you can change distro version ie /rpm/el/7/

Browse links to discover.

Hit ESC then :wq!

Run yum update

Run yum repolist to see repo.

Run yum search veeam to show all Veeam packages on repo

Run yum deplist veeam to show dependencies needed for those packages

Finally

Run yum install -y veeam ( Veeam plus dependencies will be installed while answering yes )

 

Lets hear your feedback or mods on this ...
