Bare metal restore error not compatible

[bishoptf]

Trying to figure out what is causing this issue, I believe that its the original client veeam agent version but this is not a great solution if that is the issue. I have a computer that I believe is running veeam windows agent 5.3 and has been backing it up to our B&R repo. I went to do a bare metal restore and on the new machine since it is newer hardware installed the latest 6.1 and created the bootable disk so the drivers would work. When I boot the usb and enter the B&R repo and username/password I get the following error message
"Veeam Backup and Replication version 12.0.0.1420 is not compatible with veeam agent for windows". What I am trying to figure out is the version on the older computer not compatible and I need to update it, take a backup and then try again, or I guess I could burn the 5.3 iso and inject my drivers so the networking works for the newer hardware, fun stuff here.

That is what I am guess and guess I will go down that path, sigh...

Hi Bishop

Your backup server is on V12.0. But Veeam Agent v6.1 is only supported with Veeam Backup & Replication v12.1.

https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... ml?ver=120

Two possible options you can try:
- Create the recovery media from a Veeam Agent v6.0 installation
- Update your backup server to v12.1

Best,

Where do you go to find the archive or older versions for the windows agent? All I see are the current links to the latest, thanks.
