I have multiple PCs on my network running FileBack PC. How can I easily update FileBack PC to a new version on all of them? |
You have a few options:(1) Use the
Administrator edition of FileBack PC to remotely upgrade Enterprise
edition installations with Remote Administration turned on.
(2) If you wish to install the updates as soon as they are made available,
each PC can be set to download the updates from our web site
automatically. See the "Product Update Options" on the
Preferences page to make updates install automatically.
(3) If you wish to control when the updates are deployed or have a
large number of PCs, FileBack PC can be
set to download the updated files from a server on your local network:
- On a centrally located PC (or server), create a folder to contain the
update files, and share this folder so it is accessible for read access by
everyone on the network.
- The update files can be downloaded to this folder (or another
folder if you wish to evaluate the upgrade before deploying - just copy
them to the upgrade folder when you're ready to deploy) by holding down
the SHIFT key when clicking on the "Update Now" button under the
Product Update options screen (Preferences page)
- Under the "Product Update" options (Preferences page) of each
client PC, set the update location to Local Area Network, and specify the
appropriate network share location, username, and password information. To
deploy the appropriate product update options without reconfiguring
configuration files, copy the newly created UpdateSource.dat file to your
client PCs.
