upgrade plan Veeam 7

[thameerakn]

Hi All,

We are currently using Veeam 7 and planing to upgrade. Company want most stable version as they worry about issues/ Bugs. Which version is most stable and compatible with ESXi 5.5 and 5.1?

Thank you all,
Thameera

Both version 8 and 9 support ESXi 5.5 and 5.1.

Version 8 was released on November 6th, 2014 and has already three Updates. Version 9 was released on January 12, 2016, and Updates for it are yet to see a light.

Though, version 9 has a lot of hot fixes for version 8 incorporated in it.

So, it's up to you to decide which version to stick with.

Thanks.

Hi,

Thanks for the detail. Seems Version 8 would be better choice. Any tips on updating from Veeam 7 to Veeam 8?

Kind Regards,
Thameera
