Next blksnap will support it, you can already build it manually from repository if you want to use it now, some have already done it: https://github.com/veeam/blksnap/issues/88

thx. I understand. what for me is unclear, what version i have to put here:./build-blksnap-dkms.sh ${VERSION} wenn I have version 6.1.0.1498 installed right now to make it work with Debian Kernel 6.8.4 and what format that ${VERSION} should have. I just dont get this right now form the documentation.

It's all about package dependencies. The veeam package has a dependency on a specific version of the veeamsnap kernel module. This allows to control at the package manager level that both the veeam package and the veeamsnap package are of the same version. That is, ${VERSION} is the version of the veeam package that you are using.

I remind, that the signed packages are available on the Veeam Software repository and are available on the company's website. There is also a support service.

I have not yet decided whether lk v6.8 support is needed in the veeamsnap module. For lk [v5.10 .. latest) is recommended to use blksnap.
