4 Checking for software updates

Each time you start the management console, Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 checks whether a new

version of the software is available on the Acronis Web site. If so, the software provides a link for

downloading a setup program of the new version.

To check for updates manually, start the management console and then click Help > Check for

updates. In that window, you also can disable the automatic checks for updates.

For information about updating Acronis Backup & Recovery 11, see the “Update” section (p. 11).
