Configure Automatic Software Updates for Backup Server(from Replication Server)
Overview
From v2.4, backup server can automatically download updates from the replication server and upgrade themselves. The updates have to be first uploaded in the replication server and then the uploaded files have to be selected from the replication server web console. The backup server machine will check the replication server for available updates every one hour (when there is no activity in the backup server). If an update is available in the replication server, it will automatically download and install it, when there is no client or server activity in the backup server. The backup server will download and update only the compatible updates from the replication server.
How to get here in the Web Console?
 In the top menu, select: "Server Management -> Software Update -> Configuration" page.
Configure Automatic Software Updates
Software update from replication server is enabled by default from v2.4. But to do automatic software update from replication server to backup server, the replication server is to be chosen manually.
If the user has manually disabled software update in the backup server, then it is not enabled by default when the server is upgraded to a higher version. The user will have to manually enable it to make it functional again.
