Veeam v12.1 and DD OS

[mamosorre84]

Hi,

checking system requirements for the new version 12.1, I've noticed that DD OS is supported from version 6.2 to 7.12, but "The minimum supported version for Veeam Backup & Replication 12.1 (build 12.1.0.2131) is 7.3".

So you are suggesting not to update Veeam version if using older DD OS, correct?

Is the update disruptive for older DD OS or only not supported?

Thanks

Hi Marco, v12.1 will not allow you to add anything prior to 7.3 into the Veeam B&R console (and I believe you will not be able to upgrade if it is already added). We dropped support for everything that is earlier than 7.3 in v12.1 for two reasons: earlier versions are already End Of Support from the Dell side and 7.3 is required for Retention Lock support from the API perspective.

I understand, thank you foggy!
