Legacy Replicas are any replica created by Veeam Backup prior to version 6.x.
Cause
Legacy (Created prior to Version 6 of Veeam Backup) replicas are detected in the current configuration within the Backup and Replication server.
Solution
When upgrading from Veeam Backup & Replication 6.5 to version 7.0 and the above error is presented you will need to:
- Cancel the v7.0 installer and open your 6.5.X installation
- Remove all legacy replica jobs (if present).
- Perform a ‘Remove from Replicas’ on any replica VMs that were created with legacy replica jobs within the ‘replicas’ pane.
- Once all instances of legacy replicas are removed please perform the upgrade to version 7.0.
-
After the upgrade is complete you can follow the following KB to map to the existing replica (Procedure starts at step 9)
