Software Updates
It is important to keep your ePrism software updated with the latest patches and upgrades.
A key aspect of good security is responding quickly to new attacks and exposures by updating the
system software when updates are available.
Updates are supplied in special files provided by St. Bernard. These updates can be delivered or
retrieved using a variety of methods, including email, FTP, or from St. Bernard’s support servers.
The Security Connection, if enabled, will download any patches automatically. Security Connection is
discussed in more detail in the next section.
Note: St. Bernard recommends that you backup the current system before performing an
update. See “Backup and Restore” on page 189 for detailed information on the backup and
restore procedure.
Select Management -> Software Updates on the menu to load and apply software updates.
The Software Updates screen shows updates that are Available Updates (loaded onto ePrism, but
not applied) and Installed Updates (applied and active.) You can install an available update, or
uninstall a previously installed update.
When these software update files are downloaded to your local system, they can be installed by
clicking Browse, navigating to the downloaded file, and then clicking Upload.
After applying any updates, you must restart the system.
