Deployment Information

When upgrading an existing deployment of Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows from build 13.0.1.120 to build 13.0.1.1009, the entire Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows deployment must be uninstalled first, as opposed to a typical in-place upgrade. This procedure will be handled automatically for all Windows machines that are managed by a Protection Group or by Veeam Service Provider Console. If [Install backup agent automatically] and [Auto-update backup agent] check boxes are selected in the Options page of the Protection Group settings, the new VAW build will be installed automatically during a rescan of the Protection Group. However, for machines in a "Pre-Installed" agents Protection Group, the standard in-place upgrade procedure instead requires manual uninstallation and reinstallation of the new VAW build. (See the notes below for information about uninstalling while preserving settings.)   Veeam CBT Requires Two Reboots to Complete Upgrade For Windows-based machines where the Veeam CBT driver has been deployed, the requirement to fully uninstall Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows 13.0.1.120 before deploying the new build (13.0.1.1009) also means that, after uninstalling the old build, the machine must be rebooted to complete the removal of the Veeam CBT driver before proceeding with the installation of 13.0.1.1009. Furthermore, after VAW build 13.0.1.1009 is deployed with its new Veeam CBT driver package, the machine must be rebooted a second time to enable the Veeam CBT driver.This applies to all deployments of Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows 13.0.1.120, including those machines in all Protection Group types.   Upgrade of VAW for Pre-Installed Protection Groups Requires Manual Uninstall Attempting to manually deploy Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows 13.0.1.1009 on a machine where build 13.0.1.120 is currently installed will fail with the following error: Another version of this product is already installed. Installation of this version cannot continue. To configure or remove the existing version of this product, use Add/Remove Programs on the Control Panel.
