Post by OBXBoost »

With the release of Windows 11 on the cusp (Next WEEK!) has there been any issues with support/development with Agent for Windows with Windows 11?

You need the new agent which comes with Veeam V11a.

Update:
Small correction, from the v11a release notes:

Microsoft Windows 11 readiness based on the pre-release build. The official support will require full regression testing of the GA build when it becomes available. This article will be updated with a support statement afterwards.

You should receive the agent as soon veeam updates the update servers. I don‘t know, when this happens.

Or you can download it from the download pages when the new versions are GA (general available).
That should be in october.

For official support, my personal thoughts (I am not from Veeam :-))
Windows 11 will be released on October 5.
Veeam will test the new agent release against Windows 11. I think, that will take between 1-4 weeks before official support can be announced, if there are no issues in the tests.
