Arch Linux and Veeam Agent: "Failed to collect hostname"

Today I integrated Arch Linux into the Veeam Backup Suite and faced the following error:

[04.05.2022 14:38:45.324] <140123638592000> install| >>  |Failed to collect hostname
[04.05.2022 14:38:45.324] <140123638592000> install| >>  |--tr:in std::__cxx11::string CLinuxEpSystemInfoCollector::CollectHostName() const at /mnt/Sources/VeeamInstallerLib/veeaminstallerlib/LinuxEpSystemInfoCollector.cpp:108

Environment

Arch Linux (with Kernel 5.16.16, important for veeamsnap)
Veeam Agent for Linux 5.0.2.4567-1
Veeam Backup and Replication 11.0.1.1261

Solution

It took a long time to figure out the problem but the solution is very simple, install “inetutils” which supports the “hostname” command.

pacman -S inetutils
