Install Older Version of Kasten

You may come to a situation where your customer is running an older version of Kubernetes. Example v1.22. Then you want to back up the container using Kasten.

When you run preflight check, the result indicates "Unsupported"


When we checked the user guide: https://docs.kasten.io/6.0.8/operating/support.html,

Minimum version support is v1.24

[Workaround]

Kasten version to support v1.22 is Kasten 5.5.9

https://docs.kasten.io/5.5.9/operating/support.html?highlight=1%2026

Command to install particular version

helm install k10 kasten/k10 -n kasten-io --version 5.5.9

Failed to open MySQL client library

You may encounter this error message when trying to backup mysql database using Veeam agent for Linux

"Failed to open MySQL client library"




Few thing to check

1. Make sure it is supported mysql version : 5.7 - 8.0
2. Correct credential. Use MySQL Workbench to access from VBR to source database server
3. Install libmysqlclient package manually on source database server
Execute command:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev

4. Rerun backup



That should do the trick!
