Automated Upgrade to Veeam Backup & Replication v11

Author

Chris Arceneaux (@chris_arceneaux)

Function

This script will upgrade Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager and/or Veeam Backup & Replication Server from version 9.5 Update 4b (or later) to version 11. 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:

Known Issues

  • 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.
  • This script does NOT install any patches an ISO might contain in the Updates folder. If it exists, the patch will need to be installed after running this script.

Requirements

  • Veeam Backup & Replication
    • v9.5 Update 4b
    • v10.x
  • Windows account with Administrator access to the Veeam server
  • Microsoft Windows Server 2019
    • might work with other Windows versions but untested

Usage
