Cons
"The price of Veeam Agent for Linux could be reduced.""Technical support could be improved.""They could be more customer-friendly.""There isn't much to improve.

However, if you need to backup more types of solutions or Unix systems, like HP/UX, AIX, etc., it's not compatible.""In the next version, I would like to see an increase in the locations online.
