Cause

Solution

Option 1: Postpone Upgrade to Veeam Backup & Replication v12 — Recommended

As documented in the Veeam Backup & Replication v12 Upgrade Checklist, for Veeam Backup for AWS and Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure, as of Feb 14, 2023:

The plugin for this product is not included in the Veeam Backup & Replication 12 package. It will be released later. If you use Veeam Backup & Replication integrated with this product, do not upgrade to version 12 and follow the news for upcoming updates.
