 Keeping your BullGuard Backup up-to-date

If you are connected to the Internet through broadband or DSL, BullGuard Backup takes care of this itself: it checks for new updates when you turn on your computer and every 8 hours after that (by default). If any new update is available, BullGuard Backup will update itself.

 

If you are connected to the Internet through a dial-up connection, BullGuard Backup will check for updates immediately after you connect to the Internet.

 

If you want to manually check for updates or change the way BullGuard Backup updates, please read the guide below.

 

 

1- button  Connect to the Internet

 

 

 

 

2- button  Check for updates 

 

 

 

First, double-click the icon in your System Tray (near the clock):

Then go to Main > Overview and click the Check & Update button, as seen in the image below:

3 - button  Updates 

 

 

 

If no update is found then the “BullGuard Backup is up-to-date” message will appear. This simply means that... your product is fully up-to-date :)

 

 

3 - updates_no 

 

 

If an update is found, it will be displayed in the window.

 

 

4 - button  Get available updates
 

 

 

Next, you should click the Update button. The download will begin:


 

5 - updates_downloading

 

 

That's it - your BullGuard Backup is now updated!

 

 

5 - button  Settings

 

 

 

If you're a more advanced user, you can also take a look at the settings for the update module. These are found in the same tab, by pressing the Settings button:

  • Notification levels: choose how you want to be notified when BullGuard Backup updates. This goes from completely silent updates, to detailed info on every update.

  •  

    Update frequency: choose how often you want BullGuard Backup to check for updates. Your BullGuard Backup always checks for updates right after it is launched, and then every X hours.
