This script will upgrade Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager and/or Veeam Backup & Replication Server from version 9.5 Update 4b to version 10 depending on the software installed. The script is designed to be executed on the server to be upgraded. It's also possible to execute the script from a remote PowerShell session.
This script was written to work with standard Veeam Backup & Replication environments as well as Cloud Connect Veeam Backup & Replication environments that a Service Provider (VCSP) would administer.
NOTE: Before executing this script in a production environment, I strongly recommend you:
- Read Veeam's Upgrade Documentation
- Fully understand what the script is doing
- Test the script in a lab environment
- If Veeam software other than Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager or Veeam Backup & Replication Server is installed on the same server, this software will be taken offline during the upgrade.
- After the upgrade, any Agent-base backups (VAW, VAL) that Veeam administers will need to be upgraded.
- Veeam Backup & Replication 9.5 Update 4b
- Veeam Backup & Replication 9.5 Update 3/4/4a (might work but untested)
- Windows account with Administrator access to the Veeam server
