Upgrading Veeam Plug-in for Microsoft SQL Server

Periodically, Veeam releases a new version of Veeam Backup & Replication that contains new features and bug fixes. The release package also contains a new version of Veeam Plug-ins.

If you want to upgrade Veeam Plug-in, note that Veeam Backup & Replication must be the same or later than the version of Veeam Plug-in. If you want to use the latest functionality, you must upgrade both Veeam Backup & Replication and Veeam Plug-in to the latest version. After the upgrade, you don't need to re-run the Veeam Plug-in configuration wizard, the plug-in configuration files will be preserved.

Before you upgrade Veeam Plug-in, check System Requirements. Make sure Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio requirements are met.
