Veeam Backup & Replication	Veeam Backup & Replication 13.1 supports Veeam Plug-Ins starting from version 13. Previous versions of Veeam Plug-Ins are not supported. Note that Veeam Backup & Replication must be the same or later than the version of Veeam Plug-In. If you want to use the latest functionality, you must upgrade both Veeam Backup & Replication and Veeam Plug-In to the latest version. If you use an earlier Veeam Plug-In build, it may not have all the features and bug fixes introduced in your Veeam Backup & Replication version. To learn more about the Veeam Plug-In builds included in Veeam Backup & Replication installation ISO files, see this Veeam KB article. To restore data from a backup, the version of Veeam Plug-In must be the same or later than the version that created the backup. Restore with an earlier version of Veeam Plug-In from a backup created with a later version is not supported and may cause the restore to fail. This limitation applies to build numbers, not only major versions. For example, you cannot use Veeam Plug-In build 13.0.1.2067 to restore data from a backup created with build 13.1.1.18.
Network	Veeam Plug-In should be able to establish a direct IP connection to the Veeam Backup & Replication server. Thus, Veeam Plug-In cannot work with the Veeam Backup & Replication server that is located behind the NAT gateway. For communication between the Veeam backup infrastructure and servers that host databases to be backed up, one of the following authentication protocols is required: Kerberos. To learn more, see Kerberos Authenticationkerberos_authentication. Windows New Technology LAN Manager (NTLM). As NTLM is provided by Microsoft, only the Veeam Backup & Replication server running on the Microsoft Windows OS supports NTLM.
