Upgrading Veeam B&R v.5 to 8.0 including OS Upgrade
So guys,
We run Veeam v6.5 using Enterprise License running in a VM with 2003R2 OS.
Now I need to bring this up to v8, so is this the correct order of operations:
Is that correct?

Create a new VM using 2008 R2 OS
Install Veeam B&R v8 using the same Enterprise License
Restore Backup Config from v6.5
Do the same for all proxies
Is that correct?

Is your support contract still active? Maybe consider asking Veeam Support for their input/advice prior to your upgrade. They are always willing to assist.I have no idea, I need to check this out!

I dont see anything about support listed, I assume this is because v6.5 is totally out of support now?

The Veeam database is currently running on an external SQL 2008 R2 VM, this I assume holds all the historical data do I have to do anything with regards to this database? As I would like all the historical data intact?

You make a valid point!
Also what about the Veeam external database we have, will that be needed?
Also once its up and runing, I will just have to turn off the old veeam v6.5 vms?
