As a recap, Veeam have a three stage end-of-life process, detailed below: Lets start with Veeam’s, products that have an end of fix or end of support within 2024. With this in mind, let’s explore the software & operating systems being declared end of life in 2024 so we can start planning our upgrades/migrations if necessary.
Without valid support there’s no process to get a fix, and whilst your backup software may still be in support with Veeam, if the vendor won’t fix the problem, it’s time to start panicking. NET framework update, or anything else really, could end up with the software no longer being backed up properly, or not working at all in production. At any point, a patch to an operating system, a. Times change, and software changes with them, until it’s no longer supported. Why does this matter when I’m just trying to protect the data?
It’s that time of year again where we need to plan for the year ahead and be sure that any upcoming end-of-life or end-of-support dates from our dependent software vendors are addressed.
