A backport is a something new that is ported back to an older system.
In this example, the kernel has been backported from a newer Debian release to the old Squeeze release.
Hello,
i´m quit new with all this linux stuff and NAS Systems based on it. Within the last days i´m still configuring my OMV (sorry, i don´t want to disturb your discussion at this point, but i need to ask this) ..and of cause i have some problems and questions as well I´m a bit confused with all this versions, kernels and so on but i could say, that i´m a kind of an "update junkie" so it might be, that i could solve my problems with updating the system..!? Squeeze, Whezzy, Jessi... debian 6 and 7 backports kernel....
I installed the OMV using the latest Image last weekend. As far as i understand this runs under debian 6 (Squeeze, Whezzy, Jessi ???) OMV 0.5.53 !? ok, OMV extras is installed... there is a button and i could install Backports 3.2 kernel.. What is this ? is it debian 7 (Squeeze, Whezzy, Jessi ?) with OMV 0.5.53 installing this... will this destroy my current setup ? Could it be that afterwards all my Plugins are not running again ? (Plex, OC, Exrplorer) what about the Data Access.. on my HDD´s ? I had also already problems with the general OMV Setup, GRUB Loader is not installed but the other one... LIMS !? or so.. sorry, but all this is a bit confusing.. is there someone who will be able to explain me a bit and clarify this new stuff (for me) ? By the way.. at the moment it seems that everything is running more or less....
Thanks in advance and greetings from Germany
