[PATCH] Veeam Backup & Replication 12.3.2.4165 New Patch Delivery Options

[danc]

Just want to confirm if I install the patch, will that automatically update the Veeam Agent?

When I upgraded from 12.3.1 to 12.3.2.3617 using the the Full ISO installer last time, that automatically upgraded my Veeam Agent.

I also had to copy the files from the extracted ISO to downloads to get them to run.

Right-click the ISO file, go to Properties, check Unblock and click OK.
Do this BEFORE you mount the ISO.

Hello,

what about Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager (VBEM)?

The notes in the patch download section mention:

If you use Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager, start the update procedure with this component. Veeam Backup & Replication should be updated after that.

However, there is no patch available for VBEM in the download section.
Can we install the 4165 patch using the EXE/ISO file even though there is no separate VBEM patch provided?

Thank you in advance for your clarification.

Best regards!

Hello gkotzur,

there is no patch available for VBEM in the download section.

The same patch exe / iso files should be used to patch Enterprise Manager installation. Thank you!

Yes, once fix is applied to the backup server it's also automatically applied to all managed agents during Protectio Group rescans. For 'Pre-installed agent' protection groups type and for manually managed agents you need to follow instructions in this KB article. Thank you!

The full iso just says modify, then gives you an error that the product is already installed.

The patch says this "Couldn't load file or assembly file:///g:\Setup\ServiceOperation.dll' or one of its dependencies. Operation is not supported (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131515)."

Trying to update from Veeam B&R 12.3.2.3617.

Do I need to open up a case?

I got the similar error. Have been advised in the support portal to run the unblock-file in cmd. But that didn't work. I used Powershell as admin and ran Unblock-File -Path "T:\Temp\Veeam Installers\VeeamBackup&Replication_12.3.2.4165_20251006_patch.iso"
Then manually had to stop services and veeam.shell. Otherwise the wizard will keep throwing the error.

Finally it's in progress. But my question is unlike before this update patch doesn't show that whether it's updating the Enterprise Manager or VBR. As my Enterprise Manager is hosted on the same VBR server.

Are there any known issues with SQL plugin backups after applying this patch? We just applied it and most plugin backups are failing.

[Gostev]

There are no known issues with this patch whatsoever at this time.

FYI for Veeam.

The new .exe format is not updating the version of the installed program within Windows Registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

We are an MSP with many installation and we use Tanium to check the version through the registry, this method has worked solid for us, up until now.

In the installed programs list in Windows, it does show the correct version though. I believe when devs uses some package installers to create exe files, they have to update the registry manually, where MSI files tend to just do this automatically in Windows. This seems to have been forgotten for this patch.

I believe I read a post 1-2 years ago where a lot of people requested an PowerShell command for Veeam to get the version, I've just checked the documentation, unfortunately it does not seem like this has been added yet (Only VBO has it?).

Is there any native way within Veeam to get current version of VBR reliable that I don't know of since I've looked into this last?

EDIT:
This method displays two different versions for VBR, the previous build and the new build:

Code: Select all

Get-Package | Where-Object { $_.Name -like "Veeam Backup & Replication*" } | Select-Object Name, Version, ProviderName


Name                               Version     ProviderName
----                               -------     ------------
Veeam Backup & Replication Console 12.3.2.3617 msi         
Veeam Backup & Replication         12.3.2.4165 Programs    
Veeam Backup & Replication Server  12.3.2.3617 msi

I use this to get the VBR version, I can't remember when it was implemented:

$version = (Get-VBRBackupServerInfo).Build.ToString()

Use the following from Veeam Powershell to check the Backup Server version:

Code: Select all

Get-VBRBackupServerInfo

Name      Build       PatchLevel
----      -----       ----------
HK-VBR-02 12.3.2.4165
