Notes:
• Kernel versions are applicable for BBB (block-based backups), that is, for image-level backups ONLY. The File system agent
uses BBB technology if there are no exclusion filters associated with a policy. Only LVM-based volumes are supported for
protection. Backups of non-LVM/physical disks are not supported with BBB.
• If a protection policy is associated with one or more exclusion filters, the file system agent performs backups using FBB (file-
based backup) technology. Backups using FBB are independent of the kernel version.
• Backups in the below two scenarios are always taken using FBB regardless of whether the policy is associated with
exclusion filters or not, as BBB does not support these use cases -
o Backups on Oracle Linux 7.x UEK platform (use –skip-driver option during agent installation to skip BBB driver)
o Backups of non-LVM/physical disks
