Upgrading to AHV Backup Proxy 2.1 Without Upgrading Veeam Backup & Replication 10
If you want to upgrade AHV Backup Proxy to version 2.1 but do not want to upgrade Veeam Backup & Replication to version 11, you can do the following:
- Make sure the latest run for all existing jobs has completed successfully. Rerun the failed jobs.
