VBR patch - hardened repository - suggestion

[SAFA_IT]

When installing a patch or upgrade you are prompted to close jobs and windows etc. - I would like to see one that said 'If you have a hardened repository and you have disabled SSH, you will need local access to the repository to complete this upgrade'.

I would imagine that if I was updating Veeam installations every day I would remember this, but I don't ...

Hello,
the upgrade gives a message and you have to enter credentials before applying the upgrade. there is a "test" button that checks connectivity.

Agree, that there is room for improvement and it's something we are investigating. For now the "test" button should hopefully help in most scenarios.

Best regards,
Hannes

Hi Hannes,

The upgrade allows you to install whether or not you have working credentials for the hardened repository - the upgrade completes but the hardened repository is unavailable as the transport components have not been updated.

If you are off-site, you end up with no hardened repository until you can log in locally and enable SSH.

Good to hear it is under consideration.
