Report: The new .NET updates break Veritas Backup Exec
Two days ago, Microsoft released a bunch of patches for .NET Framework 3.5, 4.7.2 and 4.8.
Now comes word from Günter Born that they’re breaking Veritas Backup Exec.
The updates (per deskmodder.de):
- KB4511517 Win10 1809 .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.7.2
- KB4511522 Win10 1809 .NET Framework 3.5, 4.8
- KB4511521 Win10 1803 .NET Framework 4.8
- KB4511520 Win10 1709 .NET Framework 4.8
- KB4511519 Win10 1703 .NET Framework 4.8
- KB4511518 Win10 1607 .NET Framework 4.8
They all claim to fix the bug “Addresses a crash that occurs after enumerating event logs in Bass Class Library (BCL).”
Born has a translation of a German blog post that says after installing the .NET 4.8 patches, Veritas BackupExec 20.4 won’t start. Apparently, rolling back the patch brings Backup Exec back to life.
Have you had any problems with the .NET patches?
