Configuring Updates

To set up Veeam Software Appliance updates, perform the following steps:

Log in to the Veeam Host Management console.
In the main menu, click Updates. Alternatively, you can open Veeam Updater directly through the https://<hostname>/updater/updates link.
On the Settings tab, configure the following settings:

Updates for automatic installation. By default, only security updates are installed automatically. You can also include optional updates, except for major releases.
Maintenance window. You can schedule automatic update installation to run on a weekly or monthly basis. If you want to install updates manually, select None.
Compliance deadline. By default, mandatory updates are forcibly installed after 30 days. You can postpone this operation up to 90 days.

Important

Consider the following:

If you select manual installation in the maintenance window, mandatory updates will be still automatically installed when the compliance deadline is reached.
If you miss the compliance deadline, updates will be installed even if you have running jobs. Backup or recovery operations performed by these jobs will fail.

Software repository. By default, updates are installed from the Veeam official repository (repository.veeam.com). If your backup server does not have internet access, you can specify a local mirror of the Veeam repository. Note that you also require a server certificate of the local mirror repository.
Internet proxy. Add a proxy server if you use one.
