Veeam Update Notification does not include 9.5 Update4

[Manuel Schluentz]

Hello Everyone,

my colleague and I just realised that there was no Update Notification for Veeam B&R 9.5 Update4 by Veeam B&R itsefl,
even though "Check for product and hypervisor updates periodically" was checked.

We looked at the vbrupadate.vbf and didn't find any mention of Update 4 in it.

We downloaded it manually from http://dev.veeam.com/backup/vbrupdate.vdf and it was the same,
apparently last updated "issuetime="2018-09-10T00:00:00.0000000"" and with 9.5 3a:

Code: Select all

<Hfx id="KB2646">
        <Description>Veeam Backup &amp; Replication 9.5 Update 3a</Description>
        <Url>https://www.veeam.com/kb2646</Url>
        <Info>This update adds support for VMware vSphere 6.7, Microsoft Windows Server 1803 and Microsoft Windows 10 April 2018 Update, and includes multiple enhancements and bug fixes for the downloadable version of Veeam Backup &amp; Replication 9.5</Info>
        <ComponentVersion>9.5.0.1922</ComponentVersion>
        <ProductCode>{52EC4366-FF56-4B08-817F-7797C72397A0}</ProductCode>
        <ComponentCode>{2CDD18CA-A371-D3D1-4D8B-6B0619D2C569}</ComponentCode>
      </Hfx>

Does Veeam not want to maintain the Notification service in Veeam B&R?

Greetings

Hi, Manuel, and welcome to our community forums.

With each major product release we're using the staged approach:
- first, we distribute the code via support only
- then, we post the code on our web site
- and finally, we initialize auto-update server

Typically, we wait for the first bugfix update to be released before initializing auto-update server with this new major release. So, in case of Update 4, we will do this after releasing Update 4a build later this month.

Thanks!
