Summary
This chapter has reviewed the Linux servers as proxies. We took a look at what was new within v11a of Veeam Backup & Replication. We reviewed the enhancements made for the unique features of the Linux proxy. We then took a look at how these latest enhancements can play a significant role in your backup infrastructure. We discussed the persistent data mover used now on a Linux proxy, along with the enhanced security for this. Also discussed was how credentials get replaced with certificates for communication between the backup server and Linux proxy.
