Migration to older Hyper-V host

Post by HErceg »

Hi,
I am trying to move VM from WS 2019 host to WS 2012 R2 host via Live migration, but it fails with error:
"Failed to establish a conenction because of unsupported protocol version.(Minimum protocol version 6.0)"

How does Veeam handle restoration to older Hyper-V versions?It is probably a long shot but I have to ask if it is able to make an update?

Hello,
we only support what Microsoft (or VMware) supports. That means that you usually cannot restore new things on old things.

Sometimes it works if you create a VM on the old hypervisor and than only attach the disks to that new VM. In general, the way back is not the one many people try and in general it's not well tested.

Best regards,
Hannes
