The General Settings tab of the Preferences dialog allows you to specify the Download Server and Easy Update settings that will be used for this job.
Specifies the HTTP location directory on the Arcserve Support server. Arcserve Backup Patch Manager will automatically connect to a pre-configured HTTP server to download the new available patches either to the Staging Server or to the Client.
Note: Arcserve Backup Patch Manager only supports HTTP communication.
Specifies the HTTP location address for the server that will be used as a staging server.
If you select this option, you must also specify the location (IP address or host server name) for the staging server. All patch information and downloads will be sent from this staging server to the client.
Note: You cannot specify your same local host machine as this staging server. If you attempt to use your local host machine as the staging server it will be an invalid configuration because the staging server cannot connect to itself to get and download the available patches from.
Note: If a Staging Server cannot be configured, then you can directly attach to the Arcserve Support site.
Specifies to automatically check, download, and install Arcserve Backup patches when they are available.
Note: Automatic patch download and installation is available for critical Arcserve Backup patches only.
If you select this option, you then have drop-down menu capabilities to schedule when to perform this function (every day or weekly on a specified day) and the time of the day that it will be performed. By default, if you select this option and do not specify a day and time, the schedule is to perform the automatic download and install every day at 3:00 PM.
Important! When you are specifying a scheduled day and time for automatic patch downloads/installs, please make sure the schedule does not coincide or conflict with other scheduled active Arcserve Backup jobs (backup, restore, scan, merge, tapecopy, etc). The installation of some patches can cause the Arcserve Backup Services to be shut down and possibly disrupt your job.
