I think is a ruge, very ruge dropping. After pandemic and opting to drop systems with manufacturer support or very popular version is not good for business, I think. Slow and step by step (year after year). Is not better droping support of not used products (using telemetry or anything like this)?
I won’t try to keep this thread up to date as Gostev is already updating his thread in step, but so far:
vSphere 6.0 will now be the minimum instead of 6.5
They’re reviewing keeping Windows 7 and 8.1 support anyway so that’s great. With regards to Windows 10, you’re either on the still supported LTS branch or if you’re on a normal feature release cycle, they’re free and easy to patch up to.
Someone made the great argument of Windows 7 being covered under the ESU which has prompted that review. The other thing I’d like to highlight is historically Veeam have supported using the previous Veeam Agent for x with the latest Veeam Backup & Replication. So if Veeam did decide to drop Windows 7 support, as long as Veeam don’t break the -1 release support for Veeam Agent with Veeam B&R, you’d still get another year’s support out of this anyway.
Still, it’s great to see them being responsive about this.
Thanks for the answer! Is very good see the company is listening the consumers and partners.
About vmware v6 is very popular until now.
Windows 7 is good to know is not going away.
Now about the used systems, did you have data about using systems on VBR? Like telemetry or support logs colected using big data.

Interesting on the vCloud versions dropping 9.x and 10.0 only leaving 10.1+. We have just moved our datacenters to 9.7 recently so for MSPs this could be an issue. We will have to wait and see.
We do plan to get to 10.2 this year but still.
Yeah, this means busy as a bee will be the logo for the next little while :)
As they say, if you don’t schedule the maintenance your system will do it for you!
Yes reminds me of one customer I dealt with way back in the day running windows 2008 R2 servers, when I asked them to reboot one server that was having VSS woes the answer was “we are a 24/7 shop, no downtime!!, We can’t be offline period”. Well a few Months later…. they were offline for quite a bit. I did try to explain to them that by not rebooting ever none of their windows updates were being applied so…..

v11 is a thing of the past, lets talk about v12!
Will we see a v13 or v14 instead? Or is Veeam switching to years for versioning? … pleas not!
so that's it for the bad jokes
We’re gonna need new memes!
On topic: 20% disagreement with the features atm, it’d be interesting to hear what individual points people agree/disagree with, so far Windows 7 if the clear next Windows XP as nobody wants to drop support for this.

Veeam 12 can integrate Kasten to support backup and restore Kubernetes?
This is possible, we will see when the new functions are announced...
thanks for your quick response

This article is about dropping support for some OSes and Application. Not about addind new functions…
I think, we will see many new functions ans support for additional OSes and Applications in V12…
Edit:
Ok, Michael was faster to respond

no news for kvm or kubevirt supports, it’s sad !
well they’ve only said what they’re reducing support to on existing product sets, so I imagine instead we’d see an announcement of KVM/kubevirt with x minimum from day one once it’s folded into the main v12 branch. (assuming they did implement support for that!)
