Solution
Starting with Veeam Backup & Replication 11, an additional SSH library is used, allowing for an expanded list of supported Ciphers, Key Exchange Algorithms, and MAC Algorithms. Therefore, it is highly recommended to use the latest version of Veeam Backup & Replication to ensure maximum compatibility.
To resolve this connection issue, ensure that the Linux server's sshd is able to use Ciphers, Key Exchange Algorithms, and MAC Algorithms that are compatible with Veeam Backup & Replication.
