Upgrading Veeam Agent
In the Veeam Backup & Replication console, you can upgrade Veeam Agents on the computers that are added to a protection group for MongoDB.
From the Veeam Backup & Replication console, you can upgrade Veeam Agent on a protected computer in two ways:
- Automatically — You can use this method to upgrade all outdated Veeam Agents on computers in a protection group. To enable automatic update, select the Auto-update backup agents option in the protection group settings. For more information, see Specify Discovery and Deployment Options.
- Manually — You can upgrade Veeam Agent on an individual computer in a protection group. This method may be required, for example, if you did not allow Veeam Backup & Replication to automatically upgrade Veeam Agent on computers included in the protection group and want to test the upgrade process on a selected computer first.
Before You Begin
Before you upgrade Veeam Agent, verify the following:
- The protected computer is powered on and able to be connected over the network.
- There are no running application policies.
We recommend that you do not stop running application policies and let them complete successfully. Disable any periodic jobs temporarily to prevent them from starting during the upgrade.
TIP |
During the protected computers discovery process, Veeam Backup & Replication checks the version of Veeam Agent running on a protected computer and the version of Veeam Agent available on the distribution server. If a newer version of Veeam Agent becomes available on the distribution server, and automatic upgrade of Veeam Agent is disabled for a protection group, Veeam Backup & Replication puts a computer to the Upgrade required state. In addition, Veeam Backup & Replication includes computers that require upgrade of Veeam Agent in the Out of Date protection group. You can upgrade Veeam Agent on all computers that require upgrade at once. To learn more, see Upgrading Veeam Agents Automatically. |
