Backup error after updating to version 8.5

[tom.bazan]

I have upgraded Veeam Backup for 365 (community edition) to version 8.5.

Since upgrading, I am getting a repository version 705 is unsupported error which has prevented the backup from running.

Has anyone seen this error before and how to resolve?

I have logged a case, ref #08228833 but not had any response.

Hi Tom,

Which type of repository gives you this error?
And, btw, I would suggest you upgrading directly to the latest v8.6.

Thanks!

Hi Polina

I have now upgraded to version 8.6.

This is an Azure Blob repository.

Does the error persist?
What message exactly do you see?

Hi Polina

The error persists. I get the message "Repository is invalid.: Repository version (705) is unsupported"

[karsten123]

did you upgrade your proxies and repositories?

[tom.bazan]

It didn't allow me to upgrade the repository. The proxy upgraded successfully though

Hi Tom,

Am I correct that you upgraded to 8.5/8.6 directly from v7? If so, that was the root cause of the issue - the upgrade path should have been as described here https://www.veeam.com/kb4098.

Support can help you to fix the issue with your repository. However, please note that for Community Edition cases are resolved on the best effort basis.

Thanks!
