For each Rapid Recovery release, our R&D team implements the support and performs exhaustive testing for newer Linux kernel versions. The table below shows all the supported kernels by each operating system.
NOTE: Newer kernels may work with Rapid Recovery Linux agent, but since they were not available at the time of their release, therefore not tested, they will not be fully supported.
