Checking for Updates

Veeam Backup & Replication automatically notifies you about updates that must be installed or can be installed to enhance your experience with the product. Update notifications eliminate the risk of running an out-of-date backup server or missing a critical update that could affect data protection and disaster recovery tasks.

Veeam Backup & Replication requests Veeam Updater to check for updates:

• Every 12 hours.
• During a rescan operation. See Rescanning Servers.
• When you install a new license.
• When you check for updates manually.

To check for updates manually, do the following:

1. Open Veeam Updater on the backup server
2. Open the Updates tab.
