Why is finding latest patches so difficult?

Post by Frosty » 1 person likes this post

This happens every freaking time. I learn that there is a patch available. I login to the Veeam website. All I can find is the 13GB download of the whole ISO. I know that somewhere you have hidden away a patch which doesn't require downloading the whole 13GB. Where are you hiding these patch files? Why are you making it so bloody hard to find them?

I should add for clarity that I am still running VBR v12.3.2.4165 so if that's the reason that I can't find the small patches (i.e. if v12 is not supported) then I will apologise and accept that -- but I don't want to deploy v13 yet as its a bit too new for my liking.

Well apparently there is a God and miracles can happen.
I managed to find the patch files via a KB article: https://www.veeam.com/kb4696
Right down at the bottom, there's a button linking to: https://www.veeam.com/download_add_pack ... pdate_exe/
Why this isn't available via my Products page (not that I can see anyway) is a mystery to me.

I agree - it's not as easy as it should be to find patches. I've just upgraded my development system to v13 and I complained about the size but it not's not clear on the KB page that the links on the right are for downloads. I'm tempted to go straight back to v12 (I took images/backup before) as one of my VMs running on Hyper-V (Windows Server 2022) has rebooted three times already and the only thing that's changed is v13 upgrade. Not pleased...
