Proxmox Virtual Environment 9.2 available!

[PatoGB]

Migration from VMware ESXi 8.0.3 to PVE 9.2.2 was going smoothly. The import wizard is doing a great job.
Attention: VEEAM Backup 13.0 doesn't like Proxmox VE 9.2.x, this is an unsupported environment!
I learned this today from the VEEAM support team and had to find a workaround for this, because we don't want to go back to PVE 9.1, which would be supported.
Temporary workaround is using agent-based backups until PVE 9.2 is officially supported with VEEAM B&R 13.1 (no date for GA yet).
BUT installing Proxmox VE 9.2.2 was such a straight forward procedure, thank you for this release!

Thank you so much, I was just about to update PVE from 9.1 to 9.2 today, and I have Veeam 13 for backups. May the Gods protect you.

Hello PatoGB,
I just found out, if you do not need "application-aware processing" (just do not enable it), then this combi works fine.
Details:
I received the error "Failed to prepare disks for backup" or so and my backup did not start for each machine.
Deactivation of the setting "Enable application aware backups" under "Guest processing" leads to success.
In addition I can report, that this is running much faster, than my workaround with windows based agents backups in the same Windows-VM.
Conclusion: if you don't need that function (hence no SQL-Server or Exchange), then this works well with PVE 9.2.2 and VEEAM 13.0.2.29.

Hi Philipp,

Ah, okay, well I don't use that function, thanks for the clarification.
