Start Veeam via “veeam” and enter “C” to open the configuration
You can backup your configuration via the following command
veeamconfig config export --file /root/veeamconfig-2019xxxx
and import an existing configuration via
veeamconfig config import --file /root/veeamconfig-2019xxxx Current configuration will be overwritten. Import anyway?(yes/no): yes Type in password for username: svc_veeam and address: srvbck: <password>
You updated to version 3 and now the agent is incompatible to your repository. Therefore you need to downgrade back to version 2. Running your job in the downgraded version fails because of the veeamsnap module.
Reason:
The module isnt fitting your kernel
Fix:
Execute the following to downgrade successfully
#List the current installed packages rpm -qa |grep veeam #Remove the packages rpm -e veeam-<version> veeamsnap-<version> #Clean reinstall (veeamsnap will be installed as dependency) yum install veeam-2.0.1.665-1.el6.x86_64 #or rpm -ivh veeam-2.0.1.665-1 kmod-veeamsnap-2.0.1.665-1 #List the module dkms status veeamsnap, 2.0.1.665, 2.6.32-754.11.1.el6.x86_64, x86_64: installed (WARNING!
