connected to the network automatically check for changes to the HP MSS Client.dmg file once a 
day and notify you if it has changed.

Update Mac Clients 
  Important 
Update the server software prior to updating the client software. The server update and the Mac 
client update are downloaded at the same time through the HP Update mechanism in the Windows 
Home Server Console. Updating the server ensures that the most recent copy of the HP MSS 
Client.dmg is on your server and ready to install. See Updating and Rolling Back the Server
 for 
more information. 
1.  From the HP Data Vault menu, choose Open Preferences. 
2.  Click the Software Update tab. 
3.  Click Check Now. 
If the HP MSS Client.dmg file on the server has changed, you will be prompted to install the file. 
The HP MSS Client.dmg may have changed because an update was downloaded from HP or 
because the server administrator rolled back the server software. 
4.  Follow the instructions on the screen for installing the file. 
Roll Back Mac Clients 
1.  First, roll back the server software. 
When the server is rolled back using the HP Update mechanism in the Windows Home Server 
Console, it also rolls back the HP MSS Client.dmg file that is located on the server. See 
Updating and Rolling Back the Server
 for more information.
