How to update Veeam Explorers for M365 backup powered by Veeam

Description

To connect to the backup infrastructure using Veeam Explorers, it is mandatory to update them after a setup of a Veeam Backup & Replication server.

It is also strongly recommended to frequently update Veeam Explorers to get new features and bug fixes, specially after Sherweb has performed upgrades on the infrastructure.

Requirements

- Have a Veeam Backup & Replication server deployed. If you don’t have a Veeam Backup & Replication server in place yet, please follow this article for guidance.

Procedure
