Disabling Automatic Worker Updates

When launching a worker for a backup or restore operation, Veeam Backup & Replication automatically downloads updates from Veeam repositories and installs them on the worker. If the worker is not connected to the internet, you can instruct Veeam Backup & Replication to use an internet proxy that will provide access to the necessary resources.

If a worker does not have access to the internet and no internet proxy is configured for the worker, you can disable automatic updates to avoid connection failures and eliminate session warnings:

1. Open the Edit Worker wizard as described in section Editing Workers.
2. Navigate to the Network step and click Advanced.
3. In the Advanced Settings window, remove selection from the Check for updates online check box and click Apply.
