howto Upgrade v.8 from v.7

Post by horst »

Hello,

we are using Veeam B&R v.7.0.0.871 at the moment. We are using the Software for backing up MicroSoft Hyper-V VMs on Server 2012 and copying files from disk to tape.
How do I upgrade to the latest version v.8 patch 2? Can I simply install the new B&R version over the productive v.7 one on the backup host?
We are also using the Backup Enterprise Manager on an additional workstation, for monitoring the backup jobs. Do we have to upgrade this machine, too?

Thanks for help!

Yes, you can perform in-place upgrade and you need to upgrade both, please review the upgrade procedure outlined in the release notes document.

There's no need to do that.
