Updating Console Automatically

In this article

Each time you connect to the backup server locally or remotely, the console checks for updates. If the backup server has a patch or updates installed, the console will be updated automatically.

Mind the following limitations:

Upgrade to another Veeam Backup & Replication major product version is not supported. If you upgrade Veeam Backup & Replication to another major version, you must upgrade the console to the same version manually.
Downgrade of the console is not supported. If the console is of a higher version than the backup server (for example, if you upgraded the console manually), the connection to the server will fail.
Automatic upgrade is not supported for Preview, Beta or RTM versions of Veeam Backup & Replication.

If other Veeam Backup & Replication components, such as Veeam Cloud Connect Portal or Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager, are installed on the machine where the console runs, these components will also be updated.
