Veeam v13 Upgrade & The GCP Appliance Compatibility.

Yes, of course.

Make sure to upgrade your GCP appliance as well, as we have released v7 together with Veeam Backup & Replication v13.0.1.

Hi ​@Mildur 

Could you please confirm the correct upgrade sequence? Should the GCP appliance be upgraded first, or should we upgrade VBR before updating the appliance? I’m asking because during the last upgrade, we updated VBR first, and the appliance disconnected due to version incompatibility, which took considerable time to troubleshoot although backups were not interrupted.

Thank you!

You will need v13.0.1 for even being able to upgrade GCP to v7. V12 will not allow to upgrade to unsupported versions.

And the compatibility matrix is in our help center.

I strongly recommend to read the entire upgrade checklist in our help center, as your questions will be answered by it:

Unfortunately I can’t comment on your previous upgrade challenges.

But it must work, backup server first, appliances second.

Best,

Fabian

Really appreciate this! I’ll review and consider the entire URL you shared.

Thank you, guys, for your participation in this post. Once I upgrade, I will share my experience here.
