Upgrading Plug-In for SAP HANA
Periodically, Veeam releases a new version of Veeam Backup & Replication that contains new features and bug fixes. The release package also contains a new version of Veeam Plug-Ins.
If you want to upgrade Veeam Plug-In, 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. After the upgrade, you don't need to re-run the Veeam Plug-In configuration wizard, the plug-in configuration files will be preserved.

Consider the following:
Keep in mind that if you use an earlier Veeam Plug-In build than the one that is included in the installation ISO file of your Veeam Backup & Replication version, 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.
