Missing support for VBR 13

[mcves]

I've just had the "pleasure" upgrading Veeam Backup & Replication from V12 to V13, and although that's caused a huge headache, and still do, we additionally discovered that the Veeam reports didn't work again, and after raising a ticket, were told V13 isn't supported.
So when will the management pack support the latest version of VBR?

Hello, and welcome to the Veeam forums!
The new version of Veeam Management Pack is in development now and is planned to ship in the first half of this year. Development of the new version took a bit longer this time, as Veeam MP v13 (versioned to match Veeam Backup) will have new collection & integration methods to support Veeam Backup v13 servers, will also support latest vSphere and Hyper-V versions, and also has a brand new UI.
Hope that helps!

Hi Alec
Thanks for the info.

So it's at end of June, so how's progress going with the new version, so we can monitor VBR 13?

Hello,

We have made a preview of Veeam MP v13 available that adds support for VBR 13 to your existing MP installation. Please log a support case to get the update files (there is a new data-collection service to install on VBR server, and updated Veeam MPs for Backup)
The full release of Veeam MP v13 is still planned for this summer, as part of the 13.1 Veeam data platform wave of releases.

Thanks!

Hello Alex

Thanks for the info. I've raised a case
Oddly enough I can no longer raise a support case on it, despite the product is listed as purchsed. It's only availabe as an evaluation case, but I presume it's only until the product is fully released?

Cheers,
Michael

Hi Michael, You should still be able to raise a support case on Veeam MP v9 - as v13 is not released yet. If you've managed to raise a case with support anyway, please ask them to confirm the process. Thanks!
