Upgrade to Update 3

Post by bqDelubac »

Hello,

I just upgrade my B&R to 9.5 Update 3, but I have some issues :

My previous physical Windows server have Veeam Agent Windows 2.0 and in the B&R console I see "Upgrade Required", I'm obligate to upgrade manually the servers ?

So 9.5 Update 3 don't allow to push Veeam Agent on windows server? We can't remote install the agent?

And I have update the servers, I have remove and recreate the backup job and in the Home part if i right click on the new job create I have this error : Invalid EP object "server name" type Directory

Maybe I miss something?

As a part of Agent Management feature Veeam B&R can display out of the date agents. Unless these agents are upgraded to v2.1 it’s impossible to centrally manage them via B&R console. You can right click on agent and hit Upgrade, but manual upgrade procedure is supported as well.

You get this error after agent was upgraded to the latest version (and moved to custom protection group)?

Unfortunately, the case is in French, so we cannot make sense of it. Kindly, open your own ticket and provide its number here. Thanks.

In case someone else runs into this issue, it appears to be a known UI bug. It will be fixed in the next update.

In the meantime you can fix it with the following steps:

1. Delete the backup job with the error
2. Remove the PG with this server
3. Create a PG with a different name
4. Add the server to the new PG

Danilo,

I'm running the latest - 9.5 Update 4a - and we're still battling this issue. Is there a better workaround than deleting Production backups to more permanently fix this? It has been over a year since your last update on this thread.

Hi James,

I would recommend contacting our support team directly with this question. This would allow our team to confirm that you're having the same issue and based on that propose a possible solution.

Vitaliy's suggestion is correct, of course. Personally I haven't seen this bug in recent installations.

Just for the record, anyway, the "fix" in my post does not make you delete production backups. It involves deleting and recreating backup jobs and Protection Groups.

Backup data stays in the Repositories and of course you can map the re-created jobs to it (screenshot), in order to continue the chain with incremental backups.
