Veeam B&R V11 - Standalone Installer of Backup Console?

[stuartmacgreen]

Just installed V11 last week. And the advice going between major versions is there is no upgrade for the Veeam Backup Console pushed from the Veeam Backup Server. A fresh install/upgrade will need to take place.

I have in my downloads folder a V10 Standalone Installer for the Backup Console. I have no idea where I may have got this from except it was from Veeam.com
Filename: VeeamBackup&ReplicationConsole_10.0.0.4461.exe
But is there not a similar package for V11 available with all dependencies?

On the ISO there is the Backup\shell.x64.msi but this requires further dependencies.

I have several operators that use the Console but are not Veeam.com registered users, no real requirement to be either. I usually have the ISO hosted on our work network. But working from home etc. some have slow connections etc blah de blah.
So I was asked by the operators if there is a standalone package available for download.
Thanks

Hi Stuart,

Starting from v11.0.0.837 P20210401 consoles will be able to upgrade remotely between major versions, by connecting to VBR server and retrieving required components back.
Bear with one last upgrade with full .ISO path, please.

/Thanks!

But if you still need this standalone package of the remote console for archiving purposes etc., we will release it within 3-4 weeks from now (given that there will be no other tasks overlapping with this activity).

Standalone console installer can now be found on official product download page, under "Extensions and Other" tab or via direct link here (must be logged in).
/Thanks!

This is excellent. Great work.

Many Thanks

I found it and it was cool.

Thanks

If not too complicated, is it possible for R&D to create/maintain a console only ISO for Veeam that's a few hundred MB, rather than the 6GB ISO.

Working from home, these things are difficult to move around on generally slower domestic Internet connections.

Thanks, Rob.

Thanks for the FR, Rob! You can see that it is already available by reading the reply from Egor

Has the 'Extension and Other' section been removed - I've just hunted for it and can't find it anywhere? (I'm already downloading from the direct link, BTW)

Cheers, Rob.

I couldn't find it either, so most likely it is now a hidden gem for all Community Members Joking aside, I will try to find this out, but no ETA on the answer since it is another Veeam department (not RnD) that manages the website.

I can see it here > https://www.veeam.com/backup-replicatio ... extensions

I've just had another look, and that page appears to be orphaned too - i.e. there doesn't appear to be an obvious way to get to it from the front page.

[Gostev]

Actually, I found it by simply clicking Downloads on the front page and selecting Veeam Backup & Replication there

Just discovered the standalone installer; must have missed the news.
And now I already have a request/feedback; the console is still on version 11a without the latest patch.
For my case it's already too late as we're downloading the update at the moment, but perhaps you can replace it with the current release.
