Considering that CentOS Linux 7 will reach end of life (EOL) on June 30, 2024 will be really important know which versions and which distributions are supported. And recently has been released Veeam Backup & Replication 12.3 but with minor changes in the Linux OS support.

There are also other good reasons, like that the new version may require more resources (for example, disk space).

Reading Time: 3 minutesIn 2020, The CentOS Project, in coordination with Red Hat, announced that it would shift full investment to CentOS Stream, the upstream development platform for upcoming Red Hat Enterprise Linux releases. That mean that will be no more alligned to the production version of Red Hat Enterprise. As a result, CentOS Linux 7 has reached end of life (EOL) on June 30, 2024.  One of the possible CentOS Linux alternative can be Rocky Linux.
