Configure Automatic Software Updates
Overview
From v2.3, clients can automatically download updates from the backup server and upgrade themselves. The updates have to be first uploaded into the backup server and the uploaded files have to be selected from the backup server web console. Client machines will check the backup server for available updates every one hour (when the client is not backing up). If an update is available in the backup server, it will automatically download and install it. The client will download only compatible updates.
How to get here in the Web Console?
 In the top menu, select: " Settings -> Advanced Options -> Software Update Configuration" page.
Configure Automatic Software Updates
Software update is enabled by default from 2.3.5. If no backup schedule (not including same machine backup or remote server backup to the same machine) is configured in the client machine, the backup server for detecting new updates is not selected by default. If a backup schedule is created in this machine, that schedule's backup server will be automatically selected for detecting updates and it will show up in this page. If no backup schedule is configured in the client machine, the backup server value will be empty and the client will not check for the new updates. Only when a backup schedule is created in this client machine, the backup schedule's backup server value will be automatically selected for detecting updates and will be displayed in this page.
If the user has manually disabled software update in the client machine, then it remains disabled when the client machine is upgraded to a higher version. The user will have to manually enable it.
