• Prepare your environment: Confirm that your existing Veeam Backup & Replication installation is on a supported version compatible with Enterprise Plus. Ensure your backup repositories, proxies, and compute resources meet recommended hardware and software requirements. Review your network topology to ensure reliable connectivity between the primary site, secondary sites, and cloud targets if used.

Check that all Enterprise Plus features are enabled in the console, including advanced automation, SureBackup, SureReplica, and WAN acceleration (if applicable).
• Update and test backup jobs: Review ongoing backup and replication jobs to ensure they are correctly mapped to repositories and repositories are accessible. Run a full backup and a test failover or SureBackup job to verify integrity and recoverability of critical workloads.
• Optimize post-renewal configuration: Take this opportunity to review protection policies, retention settings, compression and deduplication options, and storage tiering. Consider enabling automatic health checks, capacity planning reports, and integration with cloud storage or offsite targets for long-term retention and compliance.
