Updating Veeam Appliances

Update operations are managed by Veeam Updater — a Veeam service that runs on backup server or other backup infrastructure components deployed from Veeam appliances — Veeam Software Appliance and Veeam Infrastructure Appliance. The service communicates with components through Veeam Backup & Replication REST API and uses the Veeam Identity Service for authorization.

The following updates can be installed:

• Operating system and security updates — mandatory, installed automatically and cannot be skipped or canceled.
• Veeam Backup & Replication updates including major releases, minor releases and private fixes — optional.

You can access Veeam Updater in the following ways:

• Through the Updates section in the Veeam Host Management console.
• Directly through the https://<hostname>/updater/updates link. To open the link, you need to log in to the Veeam Host Management console first.
