It's a Linux box running kernel version 2.2.19 running on i686 
architecture. I do know that versions prior to 5.x supported it, but I'm 
not sure which versions, or if 5.x/6.x still supports 2.2.19.

What we don't know is the distro. As far as I know, Red Hat and SUSE are 
the only Linux distros currently supported. I do believe that at one 
point, BSD or FreeBSD was supported.

That being said, I back up my Gentoo laptop daily with no problems.
