Just thought I would post this.

Most importantly, the following were patched:

Notes are interesting:

If you choose to install this 11a update, you will not be able to upgrade to version 12.1 until the next minor update is available (12.1.2 scheduled to be released in Q2 2024).

Good spot, that looks like it was added recently. I didn’t see it when I originally posted this so I guess we will be hearing more about 12.1.2 soonish.

Spot on! It’s even a courtesy update to customers who wish to continue using Veeam Backup & Replication 11a for an extended time.
