Always upgrade; we are constantly fixing bugs and adding important features (Kasten releases every 2 weeks), so do not stay on an outdated version for comfort.
K10 needs at least 50% free space in Catalog Storage for upgrades. Check the K10 dashboard under Settings → System Information → Upgrade status for details on the current version, latest version, and catalog storage space. For additional details on the K10 upgrade, refer to the K10 user guide.
Currently, upgrades are only supported across a maximum of four versions (e.g., 6.0.2 -> 6.5.6). If your K10 version is further behind the latest, a step upgrade process is recommended where you can use the --version flag with helm upgrade to control the version jumps.
Get ready for Step 7 of your onboarding journey. At the next step, we will explore advanced features of Veeam Kasten like multicluster manager, blueprints, Openshift virtualization backups and GitOps based deployment strategy.
