Upgrade B&R 8.0 to 9.5 U3a - documentation

Post by tcogghe1976 »

I need to upgrade a backup server that for some mysterious reason is still running 8.0 U2.

According to the documentation I first have to upgrade to 8.0 U3 and then to 9.5

https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... tml?ver=95

B&R 9.5 U3a release notes tell me to download the 9.5 ISO image and do the upgrade. It's a bit unclear to me if this means I need to upgrade to an older version of 9.5 first or if the full ISO for 9.5 U3a can do the upgrade from 8.0 U3 directly. I'm guessing the latter but I'd rather not guess :-)

Tom,

Downloading the latest full ISO and running the installer will first install 9.5, then update to U3a in the same run. Just went through a legacy upgrade myself not too long ago.

Hi Tom,

Your steps are:
1. Upgrade to version 8.0 Update 3
2. Upgrade to version 9.5 from the ISO which contains Update 3a (2-step upgrade: 9.5 -> 9.5 u3a)

The latest version of the product can be installed only if you have an earlier version of 9.5 as it stated in the KB. Thanks!
