Veeam Agent for Linux - veeamsnap and blksnap Extended Linux Distribution Support
This article documents the compatibility of the veeamsnap and blksnap kernel modules with Linux distributions that are not listed within the System Requirements for Veeam Agent for Linux. Veeamsnap and blksnap kernel modules are used both for Volume-Level Backup (except for btrfs volumes) and File-level Backup (except for Snapshot-Less File-Level Backup).

Veeam Agent for Linux - Considerations and Limitations
Veeam Agent for Linux 6.1
In addition to the veeamsnap kernel module, Veeam Agent for Linux 6 introduced the blksnap kernel module for use on newer Linux kernels. Both modules are used for the same purpose (snapshot creation).
- Veeamsnap module is supported up to Linux kernel 5.18
- The Blksnap module is supported for Linux kernels starting from 5.10
The default installed module is listed in the Details column for each supported distribution and version.
