Backup for Linux has implemented a proprietary volume snapshot provider without the same limitations as LVM snapshots. This allows Veeam to take block-level snapshots on many file systems while storing snapshot data on the designated storage device.
This can help the application not use the volume you are backing up! This solution can take a consistent snapshot of the server’s storage by using only the built-in functionality of Veeam Backup for Linux. Mike Resseler has more details about the tool here.
