Scheduling automatic updates using
LiveUpdate
You can schedule LiveUpdate to check for updates
as follows:
-
Once on a specific date at a specific time
-
Every day at a specific time
-
Every week on a specific day of the week and at a
specific time
-
Every month on a specific day of the month and at a
specific time
When you schedule
automatic updates through Backup Exec, the settings apply only to
updates for Backup Exec. Changes that you make to the LiveUpdate
schedule for Backup Exec do not affect the schedule for any other
software applications that use LiveUpdate.
At the scheduled time,
LiveUpdate automatically connects to the appropriate Web site, and
then determines if your files need to be updated. Depending on the
options that you select, Backup Exec either downloads and installs
the files in the proper location or sends an alert to notify you
that updates are available.
Backup Exec sends the
following LiveUpdate alerts:
