Wow, you have updated your production servers that early?
I have updated our testserver up to now. So far all is working fine

I had to on a few of the servers, due to some performance issues. I was working with support on some things and 11a looked to be a best solution for some issues I was having with source jobs locking copy jobs, and healthchecks, merges, and compacts taking days to complete. I am also seeing better offsite replication performance. I know it’s early, but it was a best solution for me for several servers.

Ok, I am a  little bit reluctant to update production to a new version in the first weeks after GA.

But this may be an individual preference...

That is totally valid and I understand completely!

I am very impressed in my home lab with performance.  Updated last night to 11a and now jobs run at over 150+MB/s versus the previous 35MB/s.  This is great and I am only testing at home as it helps with my book update too.

I will have to recommend getting out PROD servers eventually to 11a. 

I have updated one of my biggest environment. It works really great. 

Waiting for the first health checks to run. They should be significantly use lower time to complete as before.

This is also what I'm waiting for. In some environments the health checks take too much time and cause other jobs to wait/fail; we should see some improvement there.

I haven't seen a big performance increase up to now. But perhaps the test server is not strong enough for this...

This, merges, and compact operations were taking significant amounts of time (days) on some of my servers and causing issues with my copyjobs. That was one of my main reasons for moving forward with the upgrade.

Woah guys how many people updating so fast. Today I try it in my test environment, it's nice to read all your positive comments.

Upgraded my demo-lab already. In general it works fine. But I found out, a old bug still exists:

I updated from 10 on Wednesday. Currently I’ve 7 new cases open. 2 confirmed bugs with no fix yet. Most of them are related to S3 offloading, but also about Linux proxy with IBM Storage Integration (this more about a problem in host discovery in Veeam).

The most critical issue is that some (at lot) backups are not offloaded for 2 days now, so no S3 immutability. And now it’s weekend.

And I also had to learn that migration (export/import) of Veeam One reports is not possible between major versions. What a joke!

https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/one/reporter/export_import_templates.html?ver=110

“ Exporting and importing can be useful if you need to back up custom-designed reports, or if you want to copy saved reports from one Veeam ONE deployment to another.”

A big fat warning that this is only possible for same version would be very helpful. Now I’ve to recreate 20-30 custom reports manually.

I‘m doing it all the time and they are thankful for the help.

I’m also looking forward to this @Mildur 

Healthcheck speed optimisation is amazing. I’m really happy right now 

Job with 16 VMs and 13.7TB Source Data:
Before V11a: 8.5h
With V11a: 1.5h

Job with 55 VMs and 12.8TB Source Data:
Before V11a: 5.5h
With V11a: 1.5h

Job with 15 VMs and 8.6TB Source Data:
Before V11a: 8.5h
With V11a: 1h

Wow huge improvement with 11a

Wow, great time improvements.

Did you ever find an error in your backup files with the health checks? I didn’t up to now….

No errors until today. :)

OK, so the Veeam backupfiles are rather stable. But better checking and be sure

I am doing weekly surebackup jobs combined with a monthly healthcheck.

Now that healthcheck is that fast, I could try todo healthcheck each week. The backup storage needs todo something
