4.0.0.80 is build number of 4.0 release, so it does not look like the upgrade went well.

I also got an error after upgrading and am now left with a broken setup. Also, you guys removed version 4.0 (and every other version) from the website. It would be more convenient if you left older versions for download in case somebody needs them in situations like this.

Hello Franz,

Can you tell us please whether you were successfull or nor in starting any jobs after that? Do you see this error confirming each time you login to the server?

Glen,

What type of error did you get after an upgrade? Does it look like the same that Franz experienced? Or an upgrade hadn't finished successfully at all?
If yes, could you please send us the setup log from %TEMP% folder to support@veeam.com, so we could investigate your issue.

Pretty much the only possible reason why agent did not get updated is because some job started or was running during the upgrade (which is against the upgrade procedure listed in the Release Notes document). So its EXE file was locked and did not properly update.

In all cases, uninstalling and re-installing version 4.1 will help in all cases. And all configuration will be preserved as long as you point the setup to the same SQL instance.

gostev, vitaly,

i agree, version 4.0.0.80 is related to v4.0 and it makes sense when you ask if something was still running when i upgraded veeam backup and the corresponding file might have been locked thus not upgraded.

i have read the release notes and checked the jobs before i started the upgrade. there were no jobs running when i started the upgrade. also i have not yet scheduled any jobs. start them all still manually.

also there were no signs of any error during the upgrade itself. everything went smoothly.

could it be that the service was not sopped during the upgrade process and thus locking an image?

yes, i can successfully start jobs. there aro no signs of a problem!

the errormsg pooped up on the first login after the upgrade only! no errormsg on subsequent logins.

starting veam backup and clicking help -> about the version number shown is 4.1. so it looks like at least the gui part was upgraded sucessfully.

ps logged a service call also: Ticket#517759

could you pls specific the location of logfiles (temp?) in more detail: will supply whatever logs you are asking ...

Ah, in that case, I know what was the reason. Crash happened earlier - Windows simply notifies about crashes upon the next reboot. Our QC lead told me that this was another most likely reason after I first talked to him about your issue. But I did not post this because I thought the crash happens every time (which is "expected" if agent indeed did not get updated correctly to 4.1, while all other components were updated).

so this was just a notification from windows, telling me that veem backup 4.0 had crashed some time before (for what reason ever?), but was not related to the upgrade and not related to version 4.1.

i can sefely ignore it?

if so, could you pls contact the person working on my Ticket#517759 to clarify this and probably close the ticket ...

Yes, that is correct - it crashed at some point, but the Veeam Backup server was never rebooted after that, so you only saw this message after reboot required by upgrade. You can ignore it. To be on the safe side, find veeamagent.exe file in the Veeam Backup installation folder, right-click it and verify its version in the Properties tab.

veeamagent.exe is of the correct version: 4.1.0.96

anyway, funny thing is that i got this on both servers i upgraded. so this crash must have happend on both servers.

but if the version on the images is correct, and i checked all exe's in the veeam folder to be version 4.1.0.96 AND veeam backup is working without problems as it is rigth now i tend to ignore this and move on ...
