I have found that other products have good pickup location.""There isn't much to improve. They just need to follow the trend or the development of other Linux products. Follow in terms of making the product compatible with new versions of Linux. They just need to include as many versions for Linux as possible.""It has no cloud backup feature. You can't back up anywhere outside of your local network.""It could use deduplication features.""We are currently waiting for the continuous backup process.""They could be more customer-friendly.""One problem in Veeam Agent for Linux is that you can't use your license for all your machines because you don't have a virtual machine, so if you're going to add machines and scale, you'd need to pay extra."
