Please review the deployment scenarios for Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows provided below for relevant deployment details. For Individual, CSV, Cloud, or AD type Protection Groups For "Pre-installed" type Protection Groups Agents Managed by Veeam Service Provider Console Standalone Agents
If the private fix is deployed, it will not update the build number in Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows, the build number only changes for standalone deployments where the software is uninstalled and reinstalled. For situations where the private fix was used to patch the Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows deployment, review the following options for validating that the private fix is installed: Checking the properties of the machine within the Protection Group. The properties should list "Fixes installed: 1076569".Note: This will not be updated for machines in a "Pre-installed" type Protection Group, as the "fixes installed" note is only added by Veeam Backup & Replication when it deploys the fix. Since the patch must be deployed manually on a machine in a "Pre-installed" type Protection Group, verification must be done via the registry, as documented in the next bullet point.
Will uninstalling and reinstalling the VAW Redistributable component from Veeam Backup & Replication (VBR) impact Veeam services or running backups? The VAW redistributable is safe to reinstall. However, ensure that no rescans are performed during the process to avoid any potential issues. Is it advisable to enable Perform reboot automatically if required for a Protection Group containing many production machines?Enabling auto reboot in a production environment is not recommended, as it can disrupt applications running on those servers. For large environments, the best practice is to reboot each server manually during the upgrade process. Why does the upgrade process require multiple reboots when installing a new agent version and updating the Veeam CBT driver?When a new agent version is installed, the old driver is uninstalled, and a reboot is needed to unload it safely. After installing the new driver, another reboot is required to complete the installation. This ensures the driver is properly loaded and functional. Can we skip upgrading the Veeam CBT driver?No, you cannot skip the CBT driver upgrade if it is already installed. The CBT driver must be reinstalled to ensure proper functionality. What happens if we do not reboot the client after upgrading the CBT driver? Will backups continue to run?If you do not reboot after the CBT upgrade, agent jobs will still run, but they will not utilize the Veeam CBT Driver, and you will see the warning: Warning: Failed to obtain changed block tracking map for volume. It is, therefore, not recommended to perform any backups in this intermediate state.
