Upgrading Plug-In for SAP HANA

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.

Veeam Backup & Replication 13 supports different versions of Veeam Plug-In depending on which OS is running on the backup server:

• Veeam Backup & Replication on Linux supports management of Veeam Plug-Ins 13. Management of previous versions of Veeam Plug-Ins is not supported.
• Veeam Backup & Replication on Microsoft Windows supports management of Veeam Plug-Ins 12.3.2.4165 and later.

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. If you use an earlier Veeam Plug-In build, it may not have all the features and bug fixes introduced in your Veeam Backup & Replication version. To learn more about the Veeam Plug-In builds included in Veeam Backup & Replication installation ISO files, see this Veeam KB article.
