Restore backups from pre-release version

[CedricD]

Hi,

I want to restore a backup taken with the beta version of Veeam Endpoint Backup.
I'm getting the error: Restoring backups created with pre-release versions of Veeam Endpoint Backup is not supported.
Can I somewhere download the beta version? Or is there a workaround for this?
I only need to restore a few files. Not the whole computer.

Thanks!

Hello Cedric,
I've sent you a PM with the download link. Please, consider using the BETA only for restore purposes since it’s not supported any longer. Thanks.

[CedricD]

Thanks Dima.

it's fixed!

[Dima P.]

Glad you nailed it and thank you for the heads up Cedric.

Dima: could you send me a pm also - I need to restore files from my old laptop that has now been decomissioned, and I used the beta on this one

[znabela]

WAIT! Noticed i have the 1.0.0.192_RC.zip lying about ... will update!

[Dima P.]

Robert,

Let us know how it goes.

I hate hijacking this thread, but i get the same message.

[TBD] Endpoint Beta version backups are not supported. Please move or remove them from target manually before you can proceed.

Installed version 1.0.0.1921

Shared a link with you via PM. Have a good restore and do not forget to replace the BETA code with GA once your files are resorted.

Worked like a charm - after I followed the guide to manually remove all remains of previous Endpoint installations here ( http://forums.veeam.com/post143558.html ... ll#p143558 )

Thanks - and GA is being installed again, as soon as I have all the necessary files from the old backup. Thanks again for your help.

Robert,
Great! Thanks for the heads up and do not forget to create a new recovery media from GA version

Dima,
I'm in the same boat. All my backups were done with Beta. Machine took a nose dive, went to restore, but get "Restoring backups created with pre-release versions of Veeam Endpoint Backup is not supported" I don't have a copy of the beta anymore. What are my options?

Joe,

Sent me a PM with your email address and I'll get you hooked up... (Sounds like a cheesy line out of a bad movie )

I'm in the same boat...can someone assist me by sending me the RC bits? Thanks!

[Mike Resseler]

Garion,

I have sent you a DM with the download links

Brgds,

Mike

[pwalsh]

also have the same issue, can you PM me the download link for the pre-release version.

[Mike Resseler]

Paul, Done.

Cheers,
Mike

[pwalsh]

Not received anything Mike, do the PM's take a while to arrive?

[Dima P.]

Hi Paul,
I’ve sent you the download link – check your forum inbox please. Friendly reminder that RC is no longer supported, so the version is share only for restore purposes. As soon as restore is completed please get back to the GA code. Thanks

Hi Dima,
Would you please send me the beta version aswell, my desktop just crashed and now I get the same error saying restore of pre-release is not possible.

Best regards.

Hello,

Just out of curiosity while waiting till Dima replies - why didn't do any backups with the RTM code of Veeam Endpoint Backup which has been released this spring? Trying to come up with a reason for this

Thank you!

Shared the link – have a smooth recovery.

Hello, I still have some old backups from the beta version but would like to upgrade to de curent one. Could you send me the link to download the beta version installation software just in case i need something from het old backups ?

[Dima P.]

Hi pansink,
I've sent you the link via PM.

[guxtdu]

Hi

a have the Same Problem can you please PN me the link

thanx

[Dima P.]

Gerald,
To clarify, are you looking for the BETA or RC code?

[hushpuppies]

Hi,

I would also like to have the download link to the beta version for restore purposes.
Thanks!

BTW: Wouldn't it be much simpler if the link(s) would be published to the public?
I mean that its no longer supported is clear and everyone here googled this thread, so people reading this have all the same problem...

[Vitaliy S.]

I believe the main reason not to publish it for everyone is not to endorse downloading it and then using it instead of the GA code.

[Dima P.]

Shared a link - please check the forum's PM inbox. Indeed we do not publish the retired versions to make sure that people won’t use it. Moreover, BETA is not upgradable, BETA backups are not supported in the GA as you can see. Thus it must be used only for restore purposes and then must be replaced with the latest available version.

P.S. and of course we realize the Endpoint helps you to recover your data. It’s not an actual reason, more likely a positive feedback that there is a room on your machine for Veeam Endpoint Backup Free
