Veeam Backup & Replication • Release Schedule

With V13 we're trying something we have never done before: the “early release” approach (previously referred to as "Supported Preview" in VeeamON 2025 keynote).

Specifically, we're pulling the Veeam Software Appliance (VSA) release a few months ahead and making its early release (version 13.0.0) available to start getting feedback on this brand-new deployment option sooner. This acceleration is achieved by not including in this early release a few traditionally QA-heavy features such as upgrade from V12 and Veeam Cloud Connect, as well as a few net new V13 features with lower readiness state. However, all the features included are intended for production use, and the early release is fully supported by our Customer Support.

Given the current lack of ability to convert from V12 to Veeam Software Appliance (more on this below), the early release is intended solely for net new Veeam deployments. For many, this provides a great opportunity to rearchitect your Veeam deployment to reap the benefits of all the scalability improvements of the past releases. And of course, you can always import your existing backups into the new deployment.

We expect general availability of the full Veeam Data Platform release (version 13.0.1) in Q4 2025. This will deliver fully featured V13 of the installable software for Microsoft Windows as well as the remaining functionality postponed from the early release of Veeam Software Appliance.
