Preparation

There is some considerations about dependencies software and components compatibility such as database server, Veeam ONE and others. Make sure that all are compatible with the update.Make sure there are no running jobs, restore sessions, Instant VM Recovery sessions and SureBackup jobs. We recommend that you do not stop running jobs and let them complete successfully. Disable any periodic and backup copy jobs temporarily to prevent them from starting during the upgrade.Take backup fro database and if backup server is virtual, snapshot is useful.

Check After Upgrade

Open the Veeam Backup & Replication console. If necessary, the automated upgrade wizard will automatically appear, prompting you to upgrade the product components running on remote servers.
