Update-VBOProxy Example 2. Upgrading Windows-Based Backup Proxy Server

This example shows how to upgrade the proxy03.tech.local backup proxy server that is added to Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365. To connect to the backup proxy server, the cmdlet will use current account credentials.

$proxy = Get-VBOProxy -Hostname proxy03.tech.local

Update-VBOProxy -Proxy $proxy

Perform the following steps:

Run the Get-VBOProxy cmdlet. Specify the Hostname parameter value. Save the result to the $proxy variable.
Run the Update-VBOProxy cmdlet. Set the $proxy variable as the Proxy parameter value.

Update-VBOProxy Example 3. Upgrading Windows-Based Backup Proxy Server with Windows Credentials

$proxy = Get-VBOProxy -Hostname proxy03.tech.local

$credentials = Get-Credential

Update-VBOProxy -Proxy $proxy -WindowsCredential $credentials

Perform the following steps:

Run the Get-VBOProxy cmdlet. Specify the Hostname parameter value. Save the result to the $proxy variable.
Run the Get-Credential cmdlet to create a credential object. Enter credentials that will be used to connect to the proxy server. Save the result to the $credentials variable.
Run the Update-VBOProxy cmdlet. Specify the $proxy variable as the Proxy parameter value. Specify $credentials variable as the WindowsCredential parameter value.

Update-VBOProxy Example 4. Upgrading Linux-Based Backup Proxy Server

This example shows how to upgrade the linux01 backup proxy server that is added to Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365.

$linuxpwd = ConvertTo-SecureString -String "Pa$$word123" -AsPlainText -Force

$linuxcredentials = New-VBOLinuxCredential -Account "Administrator" -ElevateAccountToRoot:$true -Password $linuxpwd

$proxy = Get-VBOProxy -Hostname linux01

Update-VBOProxy -Proxy $proxy -LinuxCredential $linuxcredentials

Perform the following steps:

Run the ConvertTo-SecureString cmdlet. Specify the necessary parameters. Save the result to the $linuxpwd variable.
Run the New-VBOLinuxCredential cmdlet. Specify the necessary parameters. Save the result to the $linuxcredentials variable.
Run the Get-VBOProxy cmdlet. Specify the Hostname parameter value. Save the result to the $proxy variable.
Run the Update-VBOProxy cmdlet. Set the $proxy variable as the Proxy parameter value. Set the $linuxcredentials variable as the LinuxCredential parameter value.
