Is the RTM version already the production version?

[tacioandrade]

Good night, I saw now that the RTM version of Veam Agent for Windows 2.0 came out, but one question, would RTM be like Release Candidate or is it already the final version that can begin to be used in homologation and production? It's just that I'm not used to the naming of versions of Veeam products.

Sincerely, Tácio Andrade.

Will it be upgraded to GA automagically?

I suspect that no, it won't. Having the Beta running already, today I tried to run the installer for the RTM and it says that the Beta must be uninstalled before the RTM can be installed.

What I want to know: Starting a backup after installing the RTM, I see it has made an incremental based off of the last Beta incremental. Will I be able to restore with these two different backup versions or should I blow all my backups away and do a full backup just to be on the safe side?

All, please read the sticky announcement topic carefully, as it answers both questions.
1. GA may not be the same build as RTM in case major unexpected issues are reported by early adopters. Sometimes RTM becomes GA, other times we have the new GA build.
2. If you were running beta, you should make a clean install.

Big difference between BETA/RC builds and RTM build is that the latter is fully supported by our technical support.

If not then it will be a minor update to apply.

I understood now, sorry for the unnecessary topic ..... Apparently in a few weeks will leave the final version, so better wait until it leaves before ratification and production.

I say this because I already have Endpoint 1.5 running in an environment and I can only change it when I go to a final version.
