Upgrading Veeam Agent

If a newer version is available, you can upgrade Veeam Agent without uninstallation of the previous version.

Before You Begin

Before you start the upgrade, consider the following:

• Make sure that no jobs are running on the Veeam Agent computer.
• During upgrade, configuration and backup files that were created with the previous version of Veeam Agent are not impacted in any way.
• In Veeam Agent for Mac version 13.0.1, restore point-based retention is no longer available. After upgrade, backup jobs will continue to operate with their original retention policy settings. To change restore point-based retention to daily retention, edit the backup job settings: in the Retention policy field, select days from the drop-down and specify a number of days for the policy. Note that after you change the retention type, switching back to restore point-based retention will not be possible.
