System updates are managed centrally by Restorepoint from the Administration > System Settings > Appliance tab. By default, the appliance checks and automatically installs any available software upgrades and updates, including:
- System software updates
- Device plug in updates
- License updates
Ensure that your firewall is configured correctly to allow system updates. For information on firewall configuration, see Firewall Requirements.
Disabling Automatic Updates
Although Restorepoint strongly recommends that all updates are automatically applied, you can override this behavior by selecting Disable Automatic Version Upgrades.
Minor software updates that do not change the user interface or modify any Restorepoint functions are still downloaded and automatically applied, unless you select Disable Automatic Minor updates.
The Force Check button checks for any available updates and installs them automatically by default. If any updates are available, the Upgrade Now button appears which allows you to manually force an update.
Manual Updates
If Restorepoint is deployed on an isolated network and cannot connect to the update server, it can be manually updated. If you manually update the system, you should select This appliance is not connected to the Internet. If you click Manual Upgrade, instructions are displayed on how to download an update package using a computer with an internet connection and upload it to the appliance. Note that when this option is enabled, all update and upgrade operations (including enabling software features or applying new license details) must be manually performed by the administrator.
