VBR11 - Supported Agents

Post by jmai »

Hello,

after I could not find anything in the current manual, or maybe I read it 3 times over here the question regarding the supported Veeam Agent versions.

As far as I understand it, or assume, only the Agent 5 version is supported by VBR11? So all other agents cannot write backups to a VBR11 repo or connect to a VBR11 server?

Veeam Agent 3 and lower will not work.
Veeam Agent 4 runs in compatibility mode.
Veeam Agent 5 is needed for all the new features.

I will research the documentation for your. I'm pretty sure, it was in the rtm release notes which are send out to each Service Provider.

jmai,

Small addition to Mildur's post: v11 can update all your managed agents from v3 to v5.
